Sticking us with the bill

Saw an interesting article in the Sun today. It seems that while Paul Martin always seems to find a need to use the federal Challenger Jets, even when going on a family vacations, and passing the cost on to the Canadian taxpayer, his British counterpart, Tony Blair actually pays his own expenses whenever not on official business. And also unlike Martin, Blair actually uses commercial aircraft whenever possible unless specific security concerns arise. Apparently, if he is forced to use government aircraft he still pays for the flight, or at least what it would have cost him on a commercial flight, out of his own pocket.

Now is there anyone out there that seriously think that the Paul Martin is at more risk from attack than the British Prime Minister? I thought not.
