- Chris Selley: Pay your taxes and keep your mouth shut
-
Should Members of Parliament have to release detailed accounts of how they spent your money? No, say two Conservative MPs. Absolutely not. What are you, stupid?
Here's Gerald "Giant Novelty Cheque" Keddy:
"No," he said. "No way. No way. All [we'd be] doing is opening it up, giving the media an opportunity to find fault. "What we have is an overall budget. We are absolutely 100 per cent responsible for that budget. If we go over that budget, we pay out of our own pocket, and we have very, very good scrutiny."
Go on, you can trust him! And here's Gordon O'Connor:"Every year, the parliamentary accounts are audited by a respected outside audit firm. Every year. It would be next to impossible for something like [the British MP expenses row] to happen here. The controls . . . are so tight that I don’t think people could do much fiddling, if they tried fiddling."
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation tells the Chronicle-Herald's Steve Maher they're just accounting audits, not value-for-money audits ... but never mind. You can trust him! He's Gordon O'Connor!

About Me
- Unhypentated Canadian
- I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
