    8 jaw-dropping allegations from B.C. Speaker's report

    8 startling allegations from B.C. Legislature expenses scandal | CBC News

    • Page down to item #4. Just another example of Canada's awesome political corruption.
    4. The wood-splitter
    Plecas said he heard the Legislative Assembly paid $3,200 for a wood-splitter and more than $10,000 for work tools and a trailer that never arrived on the grounds.

    Instead, the Speaker claimed he was told the equipment went straight to James's house, where he and Lenz used it to chop up their own firewood.

    Where there's politics, there's corruption.
