In case you not already aware DEFRAUDING Canadians pays $$$$$$ for life: In order to qualify for their pension (which, for the average member of the House, is just under $60,000 a year, for life), an MP must serve six years in the House. Del Mastro was first elected in 2006, re-elected in 2008 and then re-elected again in 2011. He therefore reached his pension eligibility in 2012, early in his third term. But the 2008 election, his second victory, is now, in the eyes of the court, tarnished. Yes, he won in 2008, and by a comfortable margin, capturing 47% of the votes, well ahead of the second-place Liberal challenger. That victory, however, came after Del Mastro spent well above what he was legally permitted. The Elections Act lays out rules that all candidates must follow. Del Mastro broke those rules on his way to winning. Not to put too fine a point on it, but he cheated. And yet he gets to keep his pension, even though he only hit six years in office on the back of at least one questionable victory. No one knows what would have happened in 2008 if he’d played by the rules, but we do now that we’re on the hook for his pension for the rest of his natural life. I be grumpier however good friends still make me smile. Still angry however that this politician clown commits fraud = pension for life and Dedicated public service = 400 + days now of rethoric, bullshit and almost half a year without pay. Makes a person growl. - ww2.nationalpost/m/wp/blog.html?b=fullcomment.nationalpost/2014/11/07/matt-gurney-do-the-crime-keep-your-pension-sweet-deal-there-ddm
