Episode 19: Final Cost to Taxpayers? $2.2 million

-

We have tracked Peterborough MP Michelle Ferreri's spending and salary costs since her election in 2021. This will be our final update before the election on April 28.  

As you look at the numbers below, you can find detailed documenting of her 2021-2024 salary and expenses claims here in a post from mid-December.

You can source the original data via the House of Commons Proactive Disclosure website. You can search by Member and Quarter, as well as look at details regarding each expense Michelle submitted, listed in Travel, Hospitality and Contracts.

The House of Commons recently released the last Quarter of expense claims, ending December 30, 2024. I don't expect another update prior to the election, so I have estimated January 2025-April 28, 2025 based on her Quarterly averages.

Its astonishing really, watching her spending grow and grow and grow over the last 4 years. Of particular note is the first and last bars in this graph. They cover the same number of months, yet her spending has doubled.





As the final chart, here's how she spent our money, 2024. 2025 has been estimated based on her average spending:


And here's our cumulative tally, September, 2021 - April, 2025:



Was she worth the cost Peterborough?

Interesting to find this gem on a Facebook group Canadians for Better Government. An analysis of all Party spending since September 2021 shows the Conservatives spend at least DOUBLE in all categories of all other Parties.

I'd say Michelle Ferreri follows this model.

There are 2 debates coming up that you can attend or stream, there are volunteer, donation and sign opportunities at our Liberal candidate's website, Emma Harrison.

Most of all, speak to your friends and families, and become active over the next 23 days. Together, we will oust Ferreri.

Episode 11: Ferreri's Libelous Attack on MP Han Dong

Guest article written by Peterborough Constituent Mary R., as posted on Facebook: This will be the most important, & hopefully the most impactful post I make on my social media platforms.  This post MUST be shared with every constituent in MP Ferreri’s riding to show, not only how unfit she is, but how dangerous she is. She must not be re-elected. After today’s Hogue Inquiry & Foreign Interference news, my MP Michelle Ferreri should be forced to publicly apologize & step down. I have been following this closely & finally, after close to 2 years, today’s Foreign Interference Report fully exonerates MP Han Dong, who was relentlessly harassed & attacked by Poilievre & his MPs, especially my MP Michelle Ferreri. Here she is in her role as Federal representative of all Peterborough constituents, speaking in the House of Commons: The headline of a story published early in 2023 reads: "Liberal MP Han Dong secretly advised Chinese diplomat in 2021 to delay free...

Episode 6: Bots for Ferreri & Intimidating Local Press

Another $20,000 week in salary and expenses for our Peterborough MP Michelle Ferreri. And what did our Riding get? MP Ferreri stood in the House of Commons on Tuesday and prefaced her rambling, 18-minute obstructionist speech with "Madam Speaker, it is always a true pleasure and honour to rise in the House of Commons and speak on behalf of the incredible people of Peterborough-Kawartha". You can read what she had to say here  and decide if this actually does represent you. Her speech followed her normal performance arc of starting quietly, getting increasingly theatrical, waving paper around, leaning forward in anger and eventually yelling her points aggressively, this time to a mostly-empty House. But the video clips! Ah yes, the clips. A big change for her with a clip of this speech. Whoever makes these decisions decided that a portion of her speech was Bot-worthy, and Bot-amplify they did, in the thousands on X and YouTube. A small sample: *Thank you to X user Cdns for Tru...

Episode 4: 112 Social Media posts to 136,000 followers! Our Riding? Not So Much

You read that right, folks. My MP Michelle Ferreri posted 112+ times in 5 days Nov 18-22/24 on her 3 official MP social media channels, reaching 136,000 followers.  Those 5 days cost taxpayers just under $20,000 in salary and expenses, based on tracking her spending since being elected. What did our Riding get? Well, let's Examine that. Flooding her channels with videos, statements, attacks on female colleagues, Committee expert witnesses and re-shares, her point is to overwhelm - no one can keep up with 22 posts/day from your elected MP, each one designed to leave you on edge, looking for sources, trying to make meaning out of the rage she's baiting you with.  Personally, I can come to a few conclusions. Conservative support numbers are bad, Poilievre is still the only Party leader to not have a top level security clearance, she's working hard to remain on Poilievre's front bench, Liberal progress is astoundingly positive and the Foreign Interference Inquiry report is ...
