The Tories were responsible there - the NDP - Liberals - and Tories are involved here. They need to be removed.
The people need a cleansing of the House both some that are sitting and those that have "retired".
Here's a tidbit from the Saskatchewan Scandal:
The seeds of the current controversy were planted in 1987, when Devine's caucus agreed to pool 25 per cent of the communications allowances that MLAs are entitled to receive from the legislature into a central account. The CROWN has alleged that some members of the Devine government signed expense allowance claims that were submitted to the legislature along with invoices from four shell companies set up by John Scraba, then the caucus communications director. Many of the invoices were for services never rendered, or for expenses that were illegitimate. After the invoices were approved by the legislature's finance offices, cheques were issued to the phony companies. That money was then funnelled back to several caucus members and Scraba in the form of cash and merchandise.
Police were first alerted to the scam in July, 1991, when legislature clerk Gwenn Ronyk reported some suspicious invoices. The investigation received a break in April, 1992, when a Regina bank branch opened a safety deposit box after its registered owner failed to respond to a notification that the bank was moving. Inside the box were 150 $1,000 bills. The owner's name proved to be bogus, but his address was quite revealing: Room 203, Saskatchewan legislature, aka the Tory caucus office. After contacting other banks, police uncovered a second safety deposit box, under the same phony name, that contained 90 $1,000 bills.

Sounds more like fiction than fact and illustrates well the disarming power of clichés like, "incredible" or "too much to believe". The disgusting mess presently being exposed in the sacred chambers of our House of Assembly is literally too much for the minds of most people to comprehend. Easier to dismiss it, like with the stories of corruption and betrayal associated with its origin
Similarly, no one wants to believe the horror implicit in the government's scheme to plant Cooke salmon farms on the South Coast in lieu of any serious attempt to deal with the real problems in those fishing communities.
