Fildebrandt apologizes for Airbnb sublet income, takes leave from UCP finance critic role

Duffy ? is that you? Alberta MLA carts out senator's defence to brush off criticism of sublet: Robyn Urback

"$2,555 over 8 months letting out my Edmonton home while unused," tweeted Alberta MLA Derek Fildebrandt Thursday morning, responding to reports he has been renting out his taxpayer-subsidized Edmonton condo on Airbnb. "I won't let smear distract from real issues."

You said it, Derek! Let's get back to talking about the real issues: government waste, misuse of taxpayer dollars and gross political entitlement. Oh, wait. Um? this is awkward.

Fildebrandt was once thought to be a leadership contender. Looks like the UCP are just going to be the same entitled corrupt group that the PCs were.

Here endeth the saga.

'I'm a flawed man': embattled Alberta MLA Derek Fildebrandt quits UCP caucus

He's politically dead, since he entire platform since working for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation was "I won't waste public money", and he's pretty much sunk that boat.

The Filderbrandt leaks were calculated to force him out and make room for Kenney as he needs a seat.

I guess that 'hit and run' charge against him that sealed the deal was a conspiracy too? Or, an easier explanation is that he's just as much a POS as the other politicians.

He's been a threat to Jean's ledership of the WRP and would be a threat to Kenney's of the UCP. They wanted him gone and all this information comes out at the same time, yeah right..........This is how Kenney plays politics.

Fildebrandt isn't good. He's a double-dipping mooch, just like the previous PC's and just like too many that were in the Chretien government. All he ever said was just more of the Austerity Hero crap anyway. Nothing new there.
