Those poor, overworked darlings

Isn't it about time... somebody freed the slaves?

-- OTTAWA -- According to parliamentary rules, MPs are allowed to miss 21 days of work within one parliamentary session before they are fined. MPs are then to be docked $120 a day if they fail to show up to work without a good excuse.

MPs self report each month and are given a free pass if they are sick, working in their riding, or on “parliamentary business” elsewhere in the country or the world.

Oh, the huge manatee!
