By now, most of us that visit the Political Forum are well aware that David Dingwall just received a severance package of over $400,000 plus benefits for his resignation/firing from the Canadian Mint. This stinks to high heaven, but is perhaps appropriate as one of the Liberals last official acts while still in power. Talk about legacy.
Instead of ranting about everything that is wrong with this, I shall post an entry from another blog that I found:
TOP TEN THINGS NEVER, EVER HEARD
AT A DINNER OR LUNCH WITH DAVID DINGWALL
Number Ten: “We must always be diligent….stewardship of taxpayer dollars is a sacred trust.”
Number Nine: (to server) “What are your house specials?”
Number Eight: "I have an idea….let’s go dutch on the bill.”
Number Seven: Ever since they appointed me as Master of the Mint I’ve been Master of My Own Domain…if you know what I mean….
Number Six: (to server) “Forget the wine list, we’ll have a carafe of your reasonably-priced house wine.
Number Five: “I’m a little reluctant to charge this meal as a business expense.”
Number Four: (to server) “What time do the buses stop operating in this part of town?”
Number Three: (to server) “Don’t you have anything less expensive?”
Number Two: (from server) “Do you want fries with your McHappy Meal?”
And….
Number One: “It’s a no-brainer.......obviously a person who voluntarily resigns is never entitled to a severance package.”
