minus-square@SamuelRJankislinkEnglish1•1 month agoI think twelve years later it pretty agreeable that compensation alone is not what stopping Canadians from having decent MP’s and in itself there’s a lot of sitting MP’s that’s probably not even worth minimum wage. Fun chart I made: Source data Median Income: Income of individuals by age group, sex and income source, Canada, provinces and selected census metropolitan areas MP Compensation: Indemnities, Salaries and Allowances

Yeah, the median income should be going down.
