Recognize the fact that the mp's get a salary of $155,00 a year plus perq's. I don't think they even pay taxes.

I don't take my family to work with me and neither do most people, especially at the expense of my employer.

He defends this obscene spending using the psychology of "keeping the family together" to deflect criticisim.  It does not work with me and I am not charmed by Mr. Hiebert and by his family spending at my expense.

He has a sense of entitlement and arrogance that has brought the negative attention to himself. He is unable  to face his constituents in a mature manner.  He would rather hide.  What really is disheartening is the fact that Mr. Hiebert does not feel any shame about his excess spending on the taxpayer's back.

Martin Luther King Jr. said, The Ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience; but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Indeed, Mr. Hiebert has only proven that he not a statesman and should look elsewhere for employment. No-one forced this man to become an mp. He chose to do so and knew full well what he was getting into.
