MPs resist their share of budget cut pain?

we sure don't need 30 more mp's and should be doing some checking with other parliamentary democracies to see what their numbers are vis a vis polititians to ppl. We don't need ads that tell us how great our government is. We don't need MP's repeating the same thing in the house day after day hour after hour, especially when it doesn't answer what is asked. This is a huge waste of money and achieves nothing!

Nothing funnier than listening to a bunch of corrupt politicians trying to cover their own a##es , while telling everyone else that they will have to settle for less .

Politician- defined as someone in public office for personal gain...Webster's 1945 dictionary

Wait a minute here , your telling me the MP's need to fly first class and DON'T even think about touching my pension. Two recent events come to mind 1 Our federal leaders are doing their best to DENY compensation to our Vetrans and most recent Afganistan heros. 2They sure were not hesitant in wanting to reform and change policy on cutting current pensions from those trying to exist living below the poverty line. If I were a MP.I think I would be looking over my shoulder the next time I flew first class just to get my free stuff at fund raising and bbq's.You have this time Pissed Off a lot more citizens than you think the Ones , you are so called sworn to serve. Time for a reality check.

They're getting off lightly if you ask me. They most likely don't work anywhere near as much as an average Canadian in the middle class, they don't deserve the pensions they are getting. Especially not when half of them don't do jack shit.

Scale back all MP pensions and perks 50% and focus that money on the important things.

Of course the MPs are protesting cuts in their salaries and pensions, that is why they are there, their main focus, is to line their pockets and live in luxury, while the getting is good remember, they only have to ""work"" for 6 years to get this gold plated pension, from the backs of the TAXPAYER, so soon we, THETAXPAYER, will not even have enough pension to survive on. Don''t forget the MPs don't even pay taxes like we do. THEY ARE THE PRIVILEGED and EXALTED in their opinion and "Serve the nation", what a joke! IF they were really intrested in the good of the nation, they would be happy to serve, on at they get
paid alone. Be assured The MP COMES FIRST in serving him/her self, making sure they
have MORE THAN ENOUGH TO LIVE IN LUXURY FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES LOOK AT THEY ARE LIVING OFF THE FAT OF THE LAND AND THEIR KIDS TOO, HAVING FROM the havenots. IS THAT????????
SERVICE TO THE COUNTRY, THAT IS THE JOKE ANNNNDDDD ITS ON US.

Remember people, you're the ones paying for Peter Mackay's fishing trips!

Ivory Tower while we work for $20 per hour if we're lucky and NO pensions.Shameful weights on society!

Occupy Parliment, and I like A.L's. line vote them out after one term, that is the power of VOTING

Typical politicians. Cut everywhere else HOWEVER don't touch our perks. We the people put you in government to protect OUR interests NOT to become corrupt and steal.

does not matter what the color of a pig...always room at the trough

Well folks it may be time to stay at your desk and do some work for the people . Try the telephone and video conferencing like the taxpayers have to . We do not want to shake your hand we want you to stop wasting our money. And here is your first tiny step for the country. Your wages and pensions would be next if I were in charge..

If you want a golden parachute go work in the private sector. I, the taxpayer don't want to give you a golden parachute and if you think you are entitled to one, I suggest you look elsewhere for employment, you lowlife pig at the trough.

they do not complain when they spend our money but if they have to put their hands into their pockets they cry over a penny.Cut the budgets,cut the pensions like they do to us and let them fill up the cars they drive out of their pockets.

Why do these idiot politicians need any pension, returning soldiers are denied, injured workers are denied. The biggest injury any politician has received is another injury to Canadian people, by letting them stay in Ottawa. Why do they need to fly anywhere, they do nothing in their riding, then fly to Ottawa and do nothing x 2.

If the MP's don't want to take pay cuts or pension cuts, why should taxes be raised, fire their asses and it obviously does not matter what party they are all crooks. Fire them now, they are worthless.

Well come on now,these aren`t pesky seniors we`re talking about.

Well practice what you preach ?They should try to live on $11 an hour with no benefits or pension .We Canadian did our cuts lets see you all do yours.

I thought is was an honor to serve your contry and the MPs should ask what can I do for my country not what can my country do for me. I also think that to run for Parliament you should be a Born Canadian not just a citizen.

They all say look at this tyrant in the eastern europe contries, or in south ameria, But all you have to do is look in our own goverment to see we are putting up with the same thing here excepet we have 100 of them (or more) taking our cash, keeping us under control, thier way of thinking keep them poor enough so they cann't fightback.
