Thread: Maybe this is why I left Canada

Now I wonder what would turn up if we did a bit of research on our MPs.

ouch and I thought our pollies were bad

I've seen this before, but about the US Congress.
Urban myth perhaps?

And Australian Parliament.

there is a website I think it is called Snopes where they debunk various urban myths.

Mind you there is some very fishy stuff going on with the ALP in Queensland right now. The Oz reported an MP's wife buying property a week before it was rezoned and the rezoning causing a windfall profit amongst other things. So you never know, call it the snout in the trough syndrome.

I was informed that it was taken from the Ottawa Citizen but you could be right even though it is believable.

First time I saw this was some years ago came from someone in a NSW Gov department about Premier Bob Carr & his people still corrupter than all those in Longbay

Im with Wheelin here, its been doing he rounds for a while. BTW It adds up to 301 faults, ie, 1 each for each claimed MP when the Canadian Parliment website claims 305 MP's

There is always something crook going on IMHO, but its easy to be critical of MP's behaviour and ignore the little failings we all have. How many people have never ever dodged in a tax return or on their CV?

Trouble is there are not many good men in politics.
