The National is CBC Television's flagship news program. Airing seven days a week, the show delivers news, feature documentaries and analysis from some of Canada's leading journalists.
Rex Murphy is a national treasure
Yes, he is a journalist that seems to hit the mark most of the time. Strange to see a real journalist within the ranks of the paid off CBC "phoney politically correct" journalists. Glad to see Wendy Mesley recently caught on the horns of her own political correctness....sometimes justice comes in strange ways
It's the Liberal Party of Canada. Did anyone honestly think they would change their ways? Seriously?
This is the future speaking. No it hasn't. (Rex Murphy 1947-2024 RIP)
That is blatant corruption.
Meanwhile people living in poverty are forced to live in terrible conditions because they slashed moving allowances.
As a fellow Newfoundlander, I love your brilliance Rex.
Telford:
$23,373.71
Butts:
$20,799.10
Personalized cash and incidentals
Any auditor with a kindergarten education would begin an immediate investigation on this alone.
One turned into a massive scandal, the other didn't. Boy it must be awesome to be a liberal.
And chances are that it would never had returned if it hadn't been exposed. Guilty of intent!
So they got caught, nothing compared to what their stealing from all your children and grand children.
WTF "high marks fir a a quick fix" no F-ing way!!!!! there only giving the money back cuz they got caught. What a bunch of BS.....
Canada’s international assistance spending increased by 8.9% to CAD$6.1 billion in 2018, up from CAD$5.6 billion in 2017.
International assistance accounts for approx. 1.8% of 2018 federal budget spending - slightly up from last years 1.7% budget expenditure in 2017.
Not sure why anyone is surprised, this is to be expected of Liberals - What did Ontarian's expect...
I for one ontarian expect nothing less than jail terms for grand theft
The country is surely in a sad state of affairs when we pat ourselves on the back for doing what we're supposed to do. What surprises me more is that the CBC has allowed Rex Murphy to keep his job...
How the F____ do yo spend $200,00.00 moving?
I could have building movers put my house on wheels and move the whole house for less than that.
TheUberGopher 1
$20,000.00 for the moving company and s180,000 for the theiving liberal party..
they pocketed whatever was left.
I find it hard to believe that someone like you can be this uninformed and ignorant of what goes on when a world leader moves. Lets just hope the good crayons are out of reach eh!
@@CharlesReece-nr2wr World leader????-you got to be kidding!!!!
There should be interest on that dam money, just like we pay when we have to pay the government they charge us interest.
is it my imagination or is Mr. Murphy looking better than ever? Age looks good on you my friend, (dare I call you friend?) and has not dulled you intellect or wit. Rage on Mr. Murphy, be forever that voice in the night!
Well that's to be expected from the Liberal party. This is far from being their first money scandal and it most certainly won't be the last. What is surprising is they've actually admitted fault and will repay? Props for that but at the same time, shouldn't there be some serious consequences? And I don't mean just throwing some low tier intern under the bus, but the people actually responsible for the mess in the first place, no matter their station.
well actually stephen harper had the same rules for his staff so....
both parties are in the wrong
Agree I'm way more left then right but if any party does it I want to hold there feet to the fire.
Only admitted fault because they got caught-when are you folks in Ontario and Quebec going to wake up and vote the Libs out ??
Three years later and a federal election now. A lot has happen since this broadcast in 2016. Things have gotten ten times worst with this government. This is a minor issue back in 2016.
What?? There really was a time when the CBC aired critics of Trudeau? Times have certainly changed. I wonder if it's related to all the money Trudeau gave the CBC?
That spoiled baby Truro. Is only out to prove he can do as he pleases no matter what and it showed on his farce of being spiteful. GoD Bless is all and may GOD GET THIS BABY OUT OF THERE
They are the 'entitled' politicians of Canada - maybe even the world.
If I steal money I go to jail.But then Im just a commoner.
Hear-Here! 😊 Well put.
The last of the true journalist...
I wish someone would pay my moving bills, the more I here, the sicker I get , specially Justin Trudeau name
Rex Your Canada's best Word Smith -odd trait for a Newfie- Canada's most trusted and best loved - honest- commentator.
In most companies that first move is paid entirely by the new employee. Plus $100,000.00 to move from Toronto to Ottawa each? Give me a break.
going to miss you Rex, this happens to be one of only news clips from msm where able to comment,
they can,t handle the truth..or want to hear it....from real canadians.
So why is NOTHING DONE ABOUT THIS CORRUPTION
Back when CBC was a legitimate news source
Love Rex Murphy. I wish he wasn't associated to CBC. I might see more of his reports if he weren't. I can't stomach legacy media.
RIP Rex 😢
The liberal mantra, do as I say not as I do.
they were just getting started!
it shall never stop ,common people elected looking at every opportunity to eat from the public Trough.
There and there , mini Trumps everywhere.
Rex is erudite ,intelligent and factual.
padding the bill........ there's no way it would have cost 200,000
this included bank and lawyer fees....Nice work if you move fast enough ..damn swines...
OK BUT NOW LOOK WHO BOUGHT THEIR HOMES. MORE FRIENDS OF JUSTIN LOOK IT UP. THEY OVER PAID FOR IT LOL
Now if they can stop doing business with Saudi Arabia, I'de truly believe the ruling party cares about Canadians and creating consistent policy.
aaron seek some help you are a lost soul with your eyes wide shut
go rex
Justin Dildeau, first black transgender prime minister
Great video but one thing completely ruins it "near Trumpian embarrassment" which "Trumpian" embarrassment is rex referring to, because I can't think of any, especially when compared to OUR political leaders which make Trump look like Albert Einstein in comparison
Great video.
RIP.
What in hell did they move?
$200, 000 to move 4.5 hours away? I know people who have traveled by car for 6 hours just to purchase a case of beer not sold in a certain town. The final tally for the trip was about $100 for gas, tolls, dinner and the beer.
I moved to Alberta to take a job several years ago for under $2500 (Fuel, furniture, initial living expense, food and accommodation during travel). As a working class Canadian i'm disgusted to see my tax dollars spent in this manner.
I'm not even a Canadian and I am disgusted as well. Governments always screw over the taxpayers. That's why I fight for a very small, limited government.
ESUSAMEX It's easy to spend other people's money. Politicians should hold themselves to a higher standard. I'm with you in that we need limited government which is in touch with it's constituents.
You'd be surprised what the private sector does with people's money/services.
The private sector is not public and can do what it wants. Moreover, if I do not agree with what a private company does with its money, I could stop using that company's services or products. For example, I will never buy any ice cream from Ben & Jerry's because they spend their earnings to support uber-liberal programs and candidates. The public sector- better known as the government-- should not be allowed to misuse my tax dollars in any way, because I cannot legally stop paying taxes to said government in protest.
So...how long after this did Rex get fired by the CBC?
Hey they sound like the older guy that doesn't pay rent in Toronto...he could've been a politician.
He looks and acts like Ireland's political commentator Vincent Browne
I'm surprised the CBC didn't shut the comments off
Thieves thieves thieves nothing but thieves
Please people get out to vote and let's free canada
Rex has had his day. When Rex started asking harper what he did on vacation and his favourite colour was we knew Rex had his day. Go write a book or do a trek to find yourself Rex. What you are doing in the public eye is embarrassing to you and Canada! How the mighty fall when they get involved with the conservatives; and now Scheer is a yank!
Gotta love that T-Rex. No worries, we have a "Silver Bullet". We need someone that can undo the damage Murphy is doing. You know, a different "spin" on truth? ......... Katie? Where's the hubby hiding?
Mr Trudeau is the apologetic prime minister. He spends his life apologizing for his mistakes. :-)
These goofs need TO BE LOCKED UP 🤬
DOESN'T SURPRISE ME. I CAN PIS AWAY PUBLIC MONEY TO. LOL . PS YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
he will probably say it's Putin's fault :)
Half of BILLION DOLLAR it’s a lot money
Wow, you guys actually enabled the comments on this one.
Scandal? What about this? "Canada’s international assistance spending increased by 8.9% to CAD$6.1 billion in 2018, up from CAD$5.6 billion in 2017.
International assistance accounts for approx. 1.8% of 2018 federal budget spending - slightly up from last years 1.7% budget expenditure in 2017." Largest recipient: Africa.
maybe we should have an election e very two years
what is definition of a horse thief
How much is CBC paying Rex Murphy? Get rid of him.
Everyone acts funny when they get near a big pile of money. That they gave it back is a good sign that this isn't entirely hopeless.
Sure, if they give it all back-if you think they did, then hide one of your teeth under your pillow tonight!!!!
This is why I don't vote. It's a waste of time when the parties are all the same.
I voted just to get rid of Harper.
you fucked up...
Paul R
Got rid of Harper, didn't we?
I vote green. They are the only ones I believe in. It doesn't matter to me if they don't win here, I just want them to know I support them anyways. It could influence other parties to green up their platforms in time.
Change happens slowly but it happens constantly.
imagine throwing your vote away like that.
Huh?
oh, the national does allow comments on some videos?
It seems that the Canadians have a more open government. Way more transparency then here in the US, or I am fooled by the media again.
yes
its only open with the liberals when they get caught
CBC is still posting Rex videos and allowing for people with heterodox opinions to comment on their videos? Is this an alternate universe
Rex’s analysis of government moving expenses is asinine. When he talks about making a killing on housing prices when moving from Toronto to Ottawa, he completely ignores the poor bastard who has to move from Ottawa to Toronto. The rules are clear on what can be claimed in these circumstances and when you consider the full picture you would be hard put to come up with a more equitable system.
It’s easy to pick on civil servants because they are prohibited from speaking up in public People like Rex should put his brain in gear before activating his tongue.
Who the hell do you vote for?
not liberal
Move along folks. No story here.
Hey now, Don’t be bashing Trump
The fact is the liberals tried to get away with the "relocation fees". I can understand a reasonable moving expense but it does not cost $100,000.00 to move from Toronto to Ottawa.So you are talking maybe $4000.00 for moving the truck and load offload services. Legal fees maybe $ 4000.00. Even if you added another $6000.00 for incidentals like drapes etc the total would be $ 14000.00. That would be a generous amount. So how can a government that claims they are transparent and for the people of Canada justify paying their employees the princely sum of $100,000.00 in moving expenses? It is called entitlement.
Just call a moving company and get a quote...its easy....and its criminal and really whomever was responsible for doling out this money should go to jail.....why is it the political parties are all above the law
Rex, you are too full of yourself. Just remember the excesses of the past that were hidden. These are transparent expenses not a whole bunch of big spending like Conservative ads,and even corrected
