Canadian politicians are weighing in on Greece’s landslide rejection of fiscal austerity.

Steve Ashton, who sits in the Manitoba legislature for the NDP and served as transport minister until late last year, was the first to weigh in on the ‘No’ side’s victory in Sunday’s referendum.

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel was quick to criticize Ashton, charging the MLA with “supporting the same policies that caused economic chaos in Greece.”

Ashton’s daughter, Niki Ashton, an NDP MP and her party’s aboriginal affairs critic in Ottawa, also commented on the matter. (Niki Ashton’s mother is Greek, she speaks the language, and she was a volunteer at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.)

“I was expressing a personal opinion here. Obviously members of the Canadian-Greek community are hearing a lot of concern from family and friends in Greece about the crisis,” Niki Ashton told iPolitics on Monday, “and it’s what I was reflecting with my tweets.”

And shortly before noon on Monday, Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre took the NDP members to task.

“NDP policy: Be like Greece,” he tweeted, before churning out another five tweets criticizing the his opponents’ support “for bailing out problem countries with Canadian tax dollars” in light of the NDP members’ anti-austerity stance.
