Martin Chriton Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I thought the payout was only a portion of the MPs remaining salary? How is that a "rich" payout? And don't we already have like 10 topics on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortunata Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 It's not an unethical (or illegal?) payout if the Conservatives do it, only if the Liberals do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figleaf Posted April 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I thought the payout was only a portion of the MPs remaining salary? The Criminal Code doesn't have any exemptions for how the money is characterized. How is that a "rich" payout? Depends on what you think of MP pay levels.

I've noticed this about the current government, there seems to be this feeling that if something is ignored, it will go away. I hope the RCMP doesn't let this go away.

Michael Bluth Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Ummm ... this thread is about the possible involvement of Stockwell Day and people around him, not Harper. Actually this thread is about you giving completely inaccurate and false titles to thread. Your outright obsession with Stockwell Day is frightening. This issue has passed. The five/six threads here have all been started by you. The most commong poster on all of them is you. What did Stockwell day ever do to you?

jdobbin Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I thought the payout was only a portion of the MPs remaining salary? How is that a "rich" payout? It might seem small to you but when an MP quits, his salary ends. And if he quit with the aim of being paid, it is illegal. The RCMP have the documents now. We'll see what they make of them. Given that it took as long as they did to clear Ralph Goodale, we might see this since one...oh, around the next election. No word on whether Day will have the same result as Goodale though.

Figleaf Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Your outright obsession with Stockwell Day is frightening. This issue has passed. You wish it has, but the thing is, this isn't simply an "issue", its a serious allegation of criminal wrongdoing, with strong prima facie evidence to support it. An "issue" may pass, but serious allegations of criminal wrongdoing with strong prima facie evidence to support them don't.

madmax Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Figleaf started this thread with the false title. Lie.He/she is obsessed with this issue that feel out of the media weeks ago. The title is misleading. It isn't the first misleading title in this forum. I believe the intent of the title is to appear like a headline in a newspaper to get people to read. But if a poster continue to mislead the actual content with a false headline people will stop looking at the posters threads. That said, is Stockwell Day in difficulty or not? Will this go away?

Nocrap Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 It's not an unethical (or illegal?) payout if the Conservatives do it, only if the Liberals do it. Try not to blame the poor old formers PC ers, its the former Alliance members that are slippery. That's the way I feel as well. The bulk of the CPC are former Alliance or Reform members with a completely different agenda than the Progressive Conservatives. That being said, if Stockwell Day is being charged, or at least being investigated for criminal activities; he should step aside until the issue is resolved, especially with the portfolio that he handles. Ironically, his office is responsible for dealing with the current corruptness within the RCMP, while he himself is being investigated by the RCMP. Major conflict of interest and if the tables were turned and this was happening to someone from any other party, the CPC would never keep silent. They platformed on honesty and transparency, but certainly do not govern under the same priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day staying in that portfolio under these circumstances is nothing short of scandalous. I really don't understand why Steve doesn't just shuffle Stock to somewhere safe while this plays out. It would certainly smell a whole lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Day is being charge, or investigate, he will step aside. He hasn't been charged. The RCPM has not announced that an investigation is ongoing. Until they do he should not resign.

The RCPM has not announced that an investigation is ongoing. That's a ridiculous position. While they DECIDE about a formal investigation, Day could be influencing that decision. He must step aside IMMEDIATELY to avoid the implication of interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
