Poilievre's Pension $230,000! Wow!

[chuckChuck]

The Conservatives will benefit just as much as every other MP, if not more if they elect a large majority.

PP's pension is far larger than Singh's and I am betting PP doesn't really want to talk about his own gold plated pension!

Delaying the election for a few months has little impact on the total pension cost for all MPs. This is a red herring issue that only the impatient Conservatives in a hurry want to bring up.

No doubt Pierre Poilievre’s pension will be larger than Singh’s, he has been a Member of Parliament far longer. Singh and Poilievre’s pension’s are governed by the same set of rules.

Personally I see little benefit politically for Trudeau and Singh delaying an election. Are the NDP suddenly expecting more Canadians to donate to the party so they have an election war chest? Does Trudeau all of a sudden think Canadians will change their opinion of him? Canadian are just sick of Trudeau, that simple. The longer he hangs on the lower his polling numbers go.

Its just politics and Harper, Poilivere and Conservatives played politics with elections as well!

Perhaps you forgot that Harper Prorogued Parliament to avoid a non confidence vote in 2008 and 2009?

Prorogation became a heated political issue (https:// Controversy erupted in 2008 when Prime Minister Stephen Harper ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/article/stephen-joseph-harper/[/url]) asked Governor General Michaëlle Jean ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/article/michaelle-jean/[/url]) to prorogue Parliament ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/parliament[/url]). This happened shortly before a confidence vote ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/confidence-vote[/url]) that could have defeated the Conservative Party ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/conservative-party)’s[/url] minority government ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/minority-government);[/url] the Harper government would have been replaced with an NDP ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/new-democratic-party)-[/url] Liberal ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/liberal-party[/url]) coalition ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/coalition-government[/url]) supported by the Bloc Québécois ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/article/bloc-quebecois/[/url]). After talking with constitutional ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/constitutional-law[/url]) experts amid intense public and media scrutiny, Jean agreed to Harper's request. His government survived.


In 2009, Harper again asked the governor general to prorogue Parliament for two months. He argued that his government needed to consult with Canadians and businesses as it dealt with economic ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/economics[/url]) issues during the recession of 2008–09 ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/recession-of-200809-in-canada[/url]). However, the move was widely criticized as a tactic to give the government time to gain a majority on Senate ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/senate[/url]) committees ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/committees[/url]). It was also seen as a way to avoid investigations into allegations that the government had ignored the torture of detainees during the War in Afghanistan ([url]https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/article/international-campaign-against-terrorism-in-afghanistan/[/url]). The 2009 episode led to a debate about whether governments were using prorogation as a political tool to further their own causes.

[chuckChuck]

No doubt PP will be hot tubbing with his toys in front of Parliment lust like the convoy! LOL

Got your toys picked out yet Crop?

[cropgrower]

no its the liberal and ndp tears will be flowing in Ottawa

[WiltonRanch]

NDP is in the hole for $7 million and under $300 k cash. They’re broke and no money coming in. Liberals perhaps in the same boat? Prolonging the inevitable in hopes of building a war chest doesn’t appear to be the goal. Ensuring everyone gets a pension is more the reason.

[/QUOTE

You went to a lot of trouble with all those cut and pastes to just say it's Harper's fault?
