Cheap politics

Last week, Burnaby-New Westminster Conservative constituency association director Robin Dhir boasted Citizenship and Immigration Minister Monte Solberg's recent reception would be "the least expensive Political event you will attend all year" - at $20 a plate. Or perhaps not. The pending Federal Accountability Act will ban individuals from donating more than $1,000 to a political party each year. That means, for example, if you've already contributed $500 to the Conservatives, you won't be attending very many party events if tickets remain priced in the hundreds. So prices will be falling to accomodate highrollers. And the purpose of those events will be changing from fundraising to party-building exercises.

Robin Dhir is a no body, all talk.

Hey Robin! St. Germain Jr. just called. His Lobotominess says it's time for another shoe shine. Better get right over there.

Peter V and Where's the real Indo Deal tell me something - these two guys are rickshaw drivers. A bunch of jealous bottom feeders who are full of crap and do not know what they are babbling about.

They like a million in Canada are dissatisfied with their jobs. Tell the world what is like to be a rickshaw driver.

Peter V and Where's the real Indo Deal are driving a rickshaw, there are two passengers sitting in back of the rickshaw, umm, one of them seems like St. Germain Jr. my goodness he is getting his shoes shined by none other than Robin Dhir. On back of their rickshaw there is sign that says you are following the St. Germain Jr's chief fart catcher.

I will take driving a rickshaw anytime over shining shoes on roadside like Robin.
