Iggy comes to mind, as does IRuby, Raitt and Linda Duncan. I think the pension should be paid on how many terms one serves, not years. That would cut the payout by millions. I think Ralphy has quite a healthy amount coming to him. And if an mp resigns on his own he should be disqualified for maximum amount.

How boring... Bring on another New Dippers on the Bloc coalition!! It's much easier to get folks out for a demonstration in the warm months. A quiet summer?

I guess it all depends on who wants an election now and who would prefer some time for the economy to hopefully improve and people to get to really know Ignatieff ( Will either works for him or against him: Too soon to be sure which i.e. trying to not be too partisan here but you might guess which I'm hoping for ). If we ( Conservatives ) where in opposition wanting an election NOW the Block would be a " block " but now it's a useful DOORSTOP. Anyway, any partisanship aside, I really want to enjoy a politically quiet Summer and the thought of another election so soon gives me hives.
