haaaaaaaaaaaa, good catch. lmao.... Freudian slip....my bad....Persecuted or prosecuted? -I guess the $16 orange juice is "small potatoes" by comparison, but yes, she obviously has an attitude. I would suggest ANYONE staying at the Savoy on the public purse has an attitude.
pfffft...Harper the serious... idiot
it's the orange juice i remember because it was the tiny tip of the iceberg
she sure can spend so I guess she did do a good job
Why do you think partisanship is so strongly encouraged by those in power? Because it keeps the level of "conversation" (and I do use that word very loosely) on the more mundane and completely superficial aspects and prevents people, most people, from really digging deeper. Because you can't even hear yourself over the din they cause.
Beyond those who bitch and moan about the welfare mums or street kids that you've alluded too (and yes, there are those that will always bitch and moan about that) the predominant problem, as I see it, are those who absolutely refuse to even acknowledge any wrong doing except on the part of those for whom their hatred is focused. It's stupidity at it's finest, it's short sighted and it absolutely allows the cycle to continue from one parties government to the next.
How in the hell can we actually hold any government to account when we all seem to be spending our time fighting against those who are hell bent for leather that it's a one sided problem?
We have a resignation and the money was paid back.
With the adscam, there were 17 of 19 Liberal MPs in PQ that received dirty money to their ridings. The courts protected them from being named. There were 0 resignations and 0 money returned.
CTV the former TV network where Mike Duffy gave his blood, sweat and tears are pouncing on him like ravaging tigers for the thrill kill and mike was instrumental on gaining more audience for that network.
yeah so what...please tell me you are not defending this whole atrocity and saying eeeeew, let them go
yeah, point? they are supposed to show gratitude...he didn't get paid...he hasn't done enough damage? maybe you haven't noticed but he is rich on your dime
but before we go switching Harper up don't we have to start to fill the holes in the dike? right now liberal might sweep it...that would mean zero change... I want them to understand we are finished with their lying, thieving, cheating game playing theft..
All Canadian Senators are paid a basic salary of $135,200.00 plus expenses. Duffy was fighting sanctions for claimed expenses in excess of $90,000.00 which is far more than the average Canadian makes in a year. Wallin put in for travel expenses of $320,000.00
over three years. Our senators are only sitting about 90 days a year. How in hell can these porkers justify this kind of money for expenses? The asnswer? They can't..........That is why there is an audit..

Yep, they are getting too corrupt for my liking, but what choice do we have? Liberals are even worse $hundred of millions were lost in the sponsorship scandal and with the N.D.P. there is no incentive for a working man to even get off his A$$- may as well go on welfare. Greens are a one horse show. Maybe Rhinoceros is the answer.
Actually for the most part they have a vastly inflated opinion of themselves prior to entering politics. that is the main reason that politicians claim there is no such thing as bad publicity. They simply like to see their picture in the paper. Probably why there are so many lawyers and used car salesmen in politics.
I voted for the pirate party last time because our local candidate was the only one of the bunch that told the truth. Also I was sure the Conservative would win by a big margin so I could afford to waste a vote.
I'd like to see the proof that an NDP gov would result in 'no incentive for a working man to get off his A$$'.
The Greens have been outed as a CONsevative group that was formed to siphon votes away from the NDP.
I will vote for whatever party eliminates the 'temporary worker program' bullcrap.
And staying with Duffy, I'm thinking he got that $90 thou, and likely lots more because as he claimed, he knows many secrets and wants to be paid to not speak.........
It is puzzling why these people never get charged but to answer how do we fix this, well we will never fix all of it but a new direction with dedication to the results favouring the masses is needed.
Politics can a very dirty biz and it all starts with one person at the top who either craves power, money, fame, likeabilty etc., or worse, all at the same time.
There is also insecurities amongst these people and, if they are courted by people who make them feel good and secure they will support their cause(s).
Take the CONS under Harper. He makes UNemployment Ins harder to obtain, makes the length of time one can collect it for shorter, eliminates most of the re-training programs, then says if you are UNemployed for 6 months you have to take a job up to 30% less than your previous wages all the time allowing Companies to hire foreigners on Temporary programs in at who knows how low of a wage which still makes your 30% less too costly compared to these Foreign Temps.
He is satisfying the people who make him feel good such as those at the Frasier Institute who are backed by foreign corporates such as the Koch Brothers.
It's Maslows Theories in action.
So what's the solution?
We need a new direction that will have those same qualities to an extent but who will fight for the masses first, and not just special interest groups like the Frasier Inst et all..............
