UPDATE 1:
For instance, here is one request letter from Brodbeck that I found asking for money for a social at Bourkevale Community Centre. This was the smallest amount requested.
Aside from being extremely hypocritical, could it be seen as a conflict of interest ? You report (critically) on these guys then personally send requests asking for ward allowance cash for a social or street party that you're having ?
Endless Spin is also up on this with some great quotes from Brodbecks' blog and a nice little ditty.
UPDATE 2:
All of this "Brod-gate" stuff could pale in comparison very soon :
Interestingly, in today's Winnipeg Sun (a phrase I don't get to truck out that often) there is a CP story about the feds considering a bailout for Canadian Media:
"Canwest, CTVglobemedia and Quebecor, which owns the Ottawa Sun, have all been lobbying the Conservative government to come up with both short-term and long-term assistance. Harper has met with Canwest's CEO Leonard Asper and Quebecor's Pierre Karl Peladeau in the last few months."

Don't forget that his kids went to provincial government employee daycare. Nothing like soaking up the perks !
