In Topic: Greg Thompson, Conservative MP, retiring

16 January 2010 - 01:09 PM

How true. I wish Mr. Thompson a very happy retirement.

I hope it is not the big C as he had a go around with it a few years back. From all accounts he was a committed parliamentarian with a strong work ethic. On a cynical note,the reformatory gang are probably smiling as another progressive conservative has been retired from the ranks, especially as he was front and centre during the Tory/Reform-Alliance battles between 1990 and 2003.

In Topic: Recommendations for 'painless' spending cuts?

Normalize salaries for federal civil servants whereby their earnings in real terms are consistent with where they reside/work. This would require establishing a cost of living factor for each area across Canada and applying it to salaries.
For example salaries might be set at a factor of 1.0 in downtown Toronto, and 0.85 in rural Nova Scotia to provide an equvalency in terms of quality of life. Implement it over 3 years to reduce the pain. If we could save 5,000 per employee, very roughly that would equate to 250,000 employees x 5,000 = 1,250,000,000 per year -not peanuts .

In Topic: Householders and Ten Percenters

"The Liberals want the federal government to restrict how many partisan flyers MPs can send to constituents at taxpayers' expense."

"The letter from Ignatieff also proposes abolishing the practice of MPs "regrouping" their allotment of 10-percenters so that they can blanket an area with party propaganda."

"Ignatieff also wants the name of the party leader to be included in any such mailings, with an explicit endorsement of the mail's content."

This is how politicians can gain credibility with the public and Iggy sure needs it ...practical policy based on the pulse of pissed off people.

86,000+ is what Geurgis spent on them herself last year.


Yes she did
But when pressed at least she went on the record to say it was wrong - her problem was that she is either a hypocrite (continued the practice knowingly) or did not instruct the Conservative Research Office to stop mailing them under her name - My information tells me that the MP's very seldom see the flyers mailed under their name to other ridings - once they give their approval to use their frank - the machine goes into gear, blanket mailings occur, and tax payers get reamed.  :angry:

Dignify with a response or ...

I am confused - I have a scottish acadian heritage and speak both official languages. Does that make me half trashed or am I only trash while I speak english?
Or when I speak french but use franglais do I morph to  trash and back instantaneously?


This is all new to me but so is disposing of an entire people based on based on their language, race, religion, creed ... wait a sec...wait a sec...you ever have that feeling that you have been somewhere before but just can't place it.  :P
