Last week, the media went ape over a false claim (derived from illegally obtained personal information) by the NDP that Labour Minister Lisa Raitt and her Chief of Staff, Douglas Smith were upgraded by Air Canada (see here) but now the NDP have been caught getting air-ticket freebies:
“a source familiar with the funeral arrangements says the family members were booked in economy and that an NDP official contacted the airline concierge to request the upgrades” (see here)
Guess one should email all those journos from Ottawa Press Gallery who ran the Raitt story last week as apparently they haven’t seen this one yet.
