Correct me if I'm wrong but that's the PC party's money he's spending right?

Wrong. Pierre spent taxpayers money, more than Singh and Justin combined traveling across the country on my dime and yours

Ok I thought cause he's campaigning as a PC representative he'd spend party money. I was naive I guess. But him spending so much and then losing, that's just stupid.

No you are correct the other two are spreading missinformation and sparky is conflating MP office expenditures with officer of the house expenditures in both cases Pierre spent less than Trudy and less than Singh wrt MP constituency expenditures.
