Wait a minute, have I finally found a real conservative in Canada?
I do not know this guy, he is from N.B, he at least took a stance, costing himself $10,000 a year.
Principle matters. Hopefully he will maintain his position as voters surely will respect him for this. Yes, call them out too.
The Conservative MP who went public with his intent to refuse a pending parliamentary pay increase was called out by the party whip in front of his colleagues and heckled as he tried to defend his decision, CBC News has learned.
In a letter to the House of Commons clerk that was made public Tuesday, New Brunswick Conservative MP Mike Dawson said he wanted his pay frozen because he couldn't in good conscience accept an increase while many working people are struggling to get by.
"It's frankly distasteful that parliamentarians are set to receive a raise while the working man (and woman) in this country hasn't seen a decent raise in decades," Dawson wrote.
