· As of —
Two archetypes. One bad habit.
Ranking MPPs by total dollars alone punishes northern and distant ridings and hides hospitality-heavy spenders closer to Queen’s Park. This brief splits the categories, shows House and caucus medians, then lets you look up your MPP.
1. Split travel from hospitality
These figures are claim categories — travel, accommodation, meals, hospitality — not full office or staff budgets. Across the House, hospitality is about three-fifths of disclosed dollars. That is the discretionary pile worth ranking.
2. Caucus medians are close — composition is not
Total medians by party sit in a similar band. The sharper signal is who concentrates spend in hospitality, not which caucus “spends more” overall.
3. Top hospitality (discretion)
Highest hospitality claims in the OLA window. Link through to the official disclosure page.
4. Top travel (distance)
Highest travel claims — read as geography first, gotcha second.
