Shortly after 2015 election, Andrew signed on to override the independent committee of the House such that reduction in pensions would not apply to them….. there was enough push back for them to back down. I emailed them to highlight their hypocrisy. Others must have as well.

I thought Andrew was also was too much of a cheerleader for Risley et al. Let them be the tail that wagged the dog. The secrecy and lack of info around this mega project is telling. It does not pass the smell test. It has all the earmarks of another Muskrat; and yet Parsons silence on this is deafening .

If you think politicians need to be paid less, then the argument is crap.

I said nothing about politicians needing to be paid less. I said they were out of line to overrule the recommendations of the MCRC, so that they could have more pension money—-when our provincial government pensions were higher than most provinces.Especially when ordinary people were having to deal with a bunch of taxes from a pretty severe budget .

And if you think Mr. Parsons should be lionized; is someone above the ordinary politician, what is that, if not crap?

Just be honest about it.
