Not sure why you find this sickening.

Well a $150,000 salary (more than double the average Canadian) plus a pension worth about quadruple of what anyone in the private sector makes is really quite ridiculous. Not to mention the huge expense accounts they rack up every year (wasn't Layton over $100,000 last year?).
Public sector employees in general are overpaid for their work compared to the private sector, and it's clear to see this extends to those at the very top too.
Those university students in Quebec walking out of school into this pay scale is amazing. Great gig, if you can get it.
