    Somehow, I knew this would happen. The Tories with their almost constant air of moral superiority ahve finally come through for me. :D

    Parliamentarians were required to pay for all tickets they requested.
    So what's the problem?

    The problem is unfair access. Why should they have better access to the Games than regular citizens?

    Let them buy the tickets from a scalper like the rest of us! :lol:

    If the CBC wants a real scandal they should do a story about the various municipal politicians in BC that accepted free tickets to the olympics. According to one mayor that refused them, accepting gifts while in office is against the law.
