What exactly are they being extorted for? Certainly not money... or is it extortion to demand they pay back the money they stole from the Canadian taxpayer?
Harper is demanding what would happen if they worked for any company in Canada and were accused of the same thievery. Suspension without pay.
Only in the Senate can you steal, not show up for work, and get paid big $$$ for almost doing nothing.
