A few years back, I seemed to be crossing paths with our local member of Parliament. While Parliament was in session, he would hop on an Ottawa-to-Calgary plane, then drive three hours to his constituency on Friday afternoon. Then he would spend Saturday and Sunday morning doing constituency work. Sunday afternoon was a plane ride back to Ottawa.

This man was a backbencher. He did not have that much influence in the legislation going around him.

Why he stayed in this job for eight years is beyond me.

Insane?

Psychopathic?
