I'm a big supporter of the idea of ensuring that our elected representatives having fair compensation -- it ensures that the positions can be held by individuals without an independent source of wealth, and reduces financial motivation for corruption. One of the things that irritates me most about this is that the process used to reach this decision could discourage effective compensation in the future. Would have been a lot better if they had made the decision apply only to future councils (avoid the conflict of interest), and to do it before the election (so voters can weigh in)

I do not have a dentist that I see regularly. I have paid maybe around a thousand dollars out of my own pocket to get my crown re-attached several times, in India, BC and Ontario. It's strange to see such options considered for government while people need to be employed and utilize insurance coverage for dental care.

Thanks for all of this!

So much anger out there.
