Now, after changing their story about eight times, the word from the Liberals is that the government is offering the failed Liberal Party politician David (“mint-head”) Dingwall a huge severance package —-over fears of a lawsuit if they don’t.
This is the government that risks the very foundational roots of our nation—traditional marriage and families; and which systematically—I would suggest treasonously—reduced our national defences and former military strength down to a ghost of what it was as if there would never be any danger of doing that; and then opts out of the North American ballistic missile defence initiative figuring nothing will happen and Canada is worth the risk.
Yet they say it is simply “too risky” to NOT offer Dingwall a scandalous severance package worth hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars after he resigned in absolute disgrace from his pure, blatant Liberal Party patronage position—for fear he might “sue” Canada (us). And the benevolent honest Liberals are doing all this to protect OUR interests.
Right.
Quick suggestion: just stop with your embarrassingly deceitful little dance, and stop insulting us as intelligent Canadians.
Tell you what: go nuts, you lying pantywaists—take that crazy wacky bet. The worst that could happen is that you’d lose the law suit. And then you’d be no worse off. Oh the humanity. Boo hoo hoo.
This is a bet I take every day.
These people are so inherently dishonest and slippery they’ll say anything to protect their own and maintain power. There is so much corruption to cover and keep under wraps now, that it’s now just starting to build on itself—higher and higher and higher. It’s like paying a credit card minimum monthly payment by getting a cash advance from another credit card. It’s literally corruption run amok.
Government says it’s offering Dingwall severance over fears of lawsuit
The federal government says it will offer a severance package to David Dingwall because it’s afraid of being sued by the former head of the Royal Canadian Mint who resigned amid scandal.
Prime Minister Paul Martin said Tuesday that federal lawyers have advised the government to offer severance pay. “The fact is that we have sought legal advice and legal advice has told us that there is an obligation and that we must meet that obligation,” he said.
Revenue Minister John McCallum went further, saying the government could face a lawsuit if it doesn’t provide a payout.
“Without a mutually agreed separation package – even when somebody resigns voluntarily – there is most definitely the risk of a long and expensive lawsuit,” said McCallum.
Dingwall resigned last week as he was being pummelled by stories about his expense claims and his past work as a lobbyist.
Martin said the government will pay Dingwall the minimum possible amount, and will claw back any expenses if it is deemed they were improperly claimed.
He did not offer any details about the legal advice the government had received.
McCallum offered scant other details, but said the legal reasons for paying Dingwall could be found in the Royal Canadian Mint Act, the Financial Administration Act and the Crown Corporation General Regulations.
McCallum has also called the practice a requirement under “common law.”
The opposition has heaped scorn on that claim.
The Conservatives have called Dingwall’s severance package “hush money” to placate Martin’s former political rival. Dingwall was a former Liberal cabinet minister and a fierce loyalist of ex-prime minister Jean Chretien, Martin’s leadership rival.
