Chrystia Freeland’s chauffeur billed for 28 days’ worth of meals and other expenses in driving the finance minister, mainly in Toronto, according to records. Freeland yesterday denied using a chauffeured car but did not explain charges by her driver.

“I am disappointed to see you peddling blatant misinformation,” Freeland wrote on her Twitter account. The Minister of Finance described herself as “a downtown Toronto MP who rides her bike to work.”

“I ride my bike to meetings in Toronto because I live in the community I represent in the centre of this great city,” wrote Freeland. “And I take taxis to the airport.”
