After years of Harper-era Senate scandals about politicians bent on taking more and more, it hasn’t changed much.

Yes, Marg was different. She was the one who believed me when the others didn’t. She did her homework on the concern that I brought forward.
All I had to ask was, “Would you let your children or grandchildren play in that stuff?”
Everything she predicted would happen, has.
Soon will be the time of regret when the others will think, if not say, “We should have listened to Marg.”
