I'm really sick of politicians saying they take full responsibility for something and then going about their day like it never happened and the apology ends whatever scandal they are involved in. Isn't taking responsibility supposed to include some compensation or penalty for your actions? If Paul Martin accepts resonsibility for Adscam what does he give up? Nothing, that's what. Why not pay a hefty financial penalty like offerring to give up your salary for a year, or refusing to take a pension. Why not resign? And what about Gordon Campbell "taking responsibility" for the failure to adequately investigate over 700 child deaths. So, Gord you take responsibility how, exactly? By raising your salary 30% on the day the 700 are announced? Great minds at work there. And Carole James - cancelling the raise and saying it was all a big mistake. Yeah right, Carole after you spent months negotiating in secret to get the raise in the first place. I'm sure paying more will attract more great thinkers like that. When Rita McNeil flies.
