Albertans don’t care who you live with. Nor do we care what party a lawyer ran for when he was 22. But we do care that our tax dollars are not wasted. That’s clear as mud in the 1500+ comments on this article. /thread #ableg #cdnpoli

Jason Kenney has posted 82 messages on this controversy over the last 36 hours. We still lack the basic facts to prove that Kenney paid for his primary residence in Calgary and that he deserves $10,000 of our tax dollars per year for his secondary condo in Ottawa. #ableg #cdnpoli

Let’s give Kenney the benefit of the doubt that: (1) that his primary residence was in the basement of his mother’s retirement home in Calgary; (2) Kenney’s secondary residence was a condo near Parliament in Ottawa, and (3) Kenney paid his mother rent. #ableg #cdnpoli

If true, Kenney can clarify by providing basic information:
1. How much rent did Kenney pay his mother?
2.Provide proof that the rent was paid (receipts, taxes, lease)
3. How many days did Kenney spend in Calgary and Ottawa?

The #1 criteria in the House of Commons guidelines for determining primary residences is “[t]he primary residence is occupied by the member more often than the other residence”. Kenney should establish that he lived in Calgary more often than his Ottawa condo. #ableg #cdnpoli

The House of Commons guidelines required that Kenney: (1) complete a Declaration of Primary and Secondary Residences; and, (2) provide supporting documentation for declared residences, including specifically disclosing any residential leases. Where's the lease? #ableg #cdnpoli

Kenney should stop the smear all around by providing the basic facts to justify the taxpayer-funded $10,000 annual housing subsidy that went into his pocket. If he can’t provide these basic facts, pay us back for these expenses. #payitback. #ableg #cdnpoli
