In a parting shot at Canadians, whom they utterly disrespect, it appears as though the disgraced Liberal Party government and Team Martin knew about the severance cheque for $417,780 that would have to be given to David (“Mint-head”) Dingwall —even during the election— and kept it from the public in order to fool Canadians and sucker them into voting Liberal.
Dingwall was deemed by an arbitrator to have not in fact “resigned”, as the Liberals and the Mint-head said he did.
If that is the case, the Liberals, including Paul (“I dint know nuttin”) Martin, openly lied to Canadians it seems to me. Then they engaged in a cover-up. And they misled Canadians on purpose—in order to cling to power.
Tories accuse Liberals of Dingwall ‘cover-up’
The Conservatives are accusing the Liberals of keeping David Dingwall’s severance package under wraps, a “cover-up” they say may have cost them a majority win.
CTV News has learned the deal to pay the former president of the Royal Canadian Mint $417,780 along with associated pension benefits was approved Jan. 20, three days before Canadians voted in the federal election.
“I believe that could have been the difference between a Conservative minority and a majority,” Jason Kenney, the Calgary-area MP, told CTV’s Question Period.
“This was a cover-up that affected the result of the election and I think in away subverted democracy.”
Conservative MP Jay Hill agrees, saying ethics played a prominent role in the recent election campaign, and knowledge of Dingwall’s severance could have swayed more voters.
“We can only be left to surmise what difference it would have made if they were honest to Canadians and this had come out the Friday before the Monday election,” said the British Columbia MP.
Privy Council Office announced the settlement package on Saturday following the decision of an independent arbitrator, George Adams, who concluded that Dingwall had not resigned, as the government suggested at the time, but had been fired.
Meanwhile, the Cnews.ca has a poll running which helps us understand how thousands of Canadians are already seeing the Martin/Liberal legacy.
