Blatchford: Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! He paid for his own suit out of his own pocket! What a splendid fellow he is.
Such are the standards by which the modern man is judged that the report of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia — Darryl Plecas, the man who paid for his suit — has left politicians and citizens reeling.
It is a most curious report the Speaker has produced.
On the one hand, it appears to show an astonishing culture of greed and entitlement in the offices of the Clerk of the House (Craig James) and the Sergeant-at-Arms (Gary Lenz) as they frolicked about the globe on dubious “business” trips, feathered their nests at home with the expensing of personal purchases, and enjoyed inappropriate cash payouts in lieu of vacation — not to mention a total failure of systemic oversight.
