According to Blacklock's Reporter, public records show that Canada's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland spent thousands of dollars on stretch cars and taxis during the Greater Toronto period, after publicly touting her reliance on low-carbon travel modes such as biking and public transportation.
It is reported that Fong paid $3,040 in the stretch car and taxi, in addition, $6,736 in addition to her dedicated driver. These expenditures do not include the $781 paid by Mong for cars and drivers during the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Scotland in October 2021.

"I think all of us in office need to ask ourselves, 'What did I do to fight climate change today?'
On July 27 last year, in an interview with reporters, Fang Huilan said: "I am now a member of Congress in downtown Toronto. One of the things that still shocked my dad to this day is that I don't actually have a car because I live in downtown Toronto, about 300 meters from the nearest subway. I walk, I take the subway, and I let my kids walk, bike, and take the subway. In fact, it's healthier for them. I can live like this,"
As a congresswoman representing the University Rosedale district in Toronto, Fong is often photographed riding on the street and often posting selfies on social media.
Blacklock's Reporter then asked for the corresponding data from Fong but was unsuccessful. Ms. Fong said all claims contrary to her approach were "clearly false information."
As of press time, Ms. Fang's office has not provided an explanation for taxi fares paid in the Greater Toronto Area, government vehicles, and full-time drivers.
