Low standards

[oneoff]

Watched CBC National tonight and noted the recurring theme that voters have short memories.

Also a frequent claim that tolerance for pretty unacceptable conduct (even if it can be proven to be so) is no problem to core supporters of municipal and higher orders of levels of Canadian government.

Will everyone ever be held to the 'law of the land".

Or is it one of the perks of office to protect oneself and their friends, family members and strong supporters.

we are about to find out with our two senators(Duthie and Wallin) pretty hard to believe that two individuals involved in journalism all their lives aren't able to understand how to fill out expense vouchers properly. In my opinion they purposely defrauded the canadian taxpayer of hundreds of thousands of dollars and should be treated with the respect that every other criminal is. Would love to see them both behind bars, where they belong.

Maybe we get fed back media relections of the "real world" we supposed live in.

Quite often we don't like what we are served; but it just might be a lot closer to what is on most people's minds than we care to admit.

Cotton LOL . Almost fell off tractor seat! I like
the conservatives but this is disgusting. Those
two are nothing more tham the crooks and
theives the used to gleefully report about on
television. They absolutely deserve jail time.

accountibility. Jail them.

You get what you vote for , your little darlings.
If people would voice thier disatifacition with these assholes instead of covering up for them every time they fu up because we are com or lib or nd , look a snfu is not acceptable.

Absolutely correct. When the RM councillors who are appointed as scrutineers; have the balls to submit for every hour of attendence at both advance polls and voting day; then you've got another unacceptable issue of fraud. Of couse when council decided they were paid as "security"; and not their scrutineer duties; they created more even more issues of inappropriate behavior.

But not the auditors; nor the ratepayers; nor the RCMP; must have thought $600 dollar bills were sufficient fraud infractions to be worth the fuss.

Just as graft of free hats; used to expand to leather caps; then leather jackets and even junkets to the honeymoon capitalof Canada; courtesy of Champion road graders; this behavior must be nipped in the bud.

But not so in practice. Shame on all those involved. If you can't look after corruption in your back yard; you can see how the bigger fish have nothing to hold them back from basic instincts.

Harper should have never appointed Wallin or Duffy, yes they came FROM but they were not residents when he appointed them, everyone knew this. NO one said squat, not the Premiers who were denied a legitimate representative , except maybe the NDP, and a few lone voices in the wilderness, like me.

Wallin and Duffy did not deserve the privilege of appointment by the very nature of where they lived. Perhaps there is some truth to what goes around comes around.

And perhaps there is some element of truth in the need for those who support a party to keep them on track, and not just be cheerleaders.
