The Canadian Taxpayers Federation released Leger polling today showing 80 per cent of Canadians oppose the member of Parliament pay raise on April 1.

It definitely is a dumb emotional issue in the grand scheme of things, but I feel like I could get by on $194K per year if I were elected MP without being independently wealthy.

I feel like to get competent people you have to pay something like they’d get in the wild. This is not me saying I think they’re competent though.

Yeah this is a much better point. In theory you want people that are their top of their field to be in these positions.
