It’s never good to gloat. Karma has a way of humbling us all.

PC MLAs reverse course as premier urges audit of employment agency | CBC NewsOne day after government MLAs on a legislature committee rejected calls for a forensic audit into a Cape Breton employment agency, Premier Tim Houston says one should go ahead. Irving wannabes. Nova Scotia is horrible for nepotism. Looking forward to seeing the details of the conflict of interest and theft of taxpayer money but nothing's going to come of it. Nova Scotian politics has been notoriously corrupt for decades. Men were given a pint of rum for their vote, women a 5$ bill in an envelope. Provincial jobs in highways, lands and forests,etc were divvied up to buy votes.
