Entitlement and Conflict of Interest - in Canada?


Do you know of any employer who would allow an employee to work for another company while still pulling a pay cheque from the employer?  Neither do I.  I take great exception to Jason Kenney campaigning for a new provincial party in Alberta while still taking a pay cheque as an MP.  Despite calls for his resignation he has refused to do so and will take taxpayers’ money until at least October.  What does this say about the man’s integrity?  How can he speak about lower and middle class “entitlements” in disparaging terms when he is dipping into the trough without regard to why he is receiving this money? 
As an elected Member of Parliament he is supposed to be working for his constituents, not working for himself in the high expectation of becoming premier of this province.  Good luck with that, buddy.  Who can possibly respect someone with such a personal agenda?  Is this campaign about what is good for the people or what may be good for Jason Kenney?
I would hope that whether you are Conservative, Wildrose or of another political stripe you would still have the good sense to see that this man is out for himself, not anyone else.  At the very least this smacks of extremely poor taste and no class.  I think we see enough of that south of the border we don’t need that type of politician in Canada.
