fUKKIN RIGHT, THATB GUY IS PRIMINISTAERIAL MATERIAL, HE'S A LEADER, GO Braxeau, you got my vote,

Well no not PM material but let's not forget he was 'appointed' to the Senate for political opportunity by those who picked him and then they decided to get ditch him by framing a theft story. As in Duffy's situation I have no use for either of them but they were both screwed over by the powers that be.

I will also add that if this happened in the private sector it would be termed an 'unjust dismissal' and the compensation they would receive would reflect that.......

The senator said it was down to the "Conservative-led majority in the Senate. Plain and simple, it was politics, it wasn't administrative, it was politics."

Brazeau, himself a Tory appointee, pointed out that since he was cleared by the Deloitte audit of his expense claims in the Senate, and the charges of fraud and breach of trust were eventually dropped by the Crown, it should be clear to all Canadians that he did nothing wrong.

"Why is it that the Senate, that had a Conservative majority at the time of my suspension, decided differently?" "I paid a hefty price for that, so someone has to be accountable for the answers to my questions, because there will be those questions coming in future."

Brazeau said that he went almost three years without being paid because of the accusations looming over him, and he and his lawyers were considering "all options" with respect to getting some or all of those lost wages back.

"What happened to me was unjust and somebody needs to be held accountable,"

"It's not easy having undergone everything that I went through, and it should never happen to anybody in this country, and it was all because of politics,"

Brazeau also spoke about his legal and personal problems since the expense scandal in the Senate began, saying that he did make some bad decisions but that he was under a great deal of stress related to the "false accusations" levied against him.

Looking back at his short Senate career, Brazeau said that if there was one thing he could change about the way he conducted himself in the early days of his appointment, it would to be less partisan. It is something he will have the opportunity to practise now that he is an independent senator.
