I am getting my money's worth out of today's Globe and Mail.
Olympic tickets are to be doled out to Parliamentarians in the following numbers with "...about 750 tickets...available, including about 350 for the Conservatives, 240 for the Liberals, and 90 for the Bloc Quebecois. The NDP would have been slated to have about 65 tickets."
In the file dedicated to leaders of parties that don't have a hope in hell of ever forming a government indicates that "NDP Leader Jack Layton and his MPs announced they are giving up the 65 Olympic tickets allotted to their caucus for purchase. Mr. Layton says his MPs will wait in line like everyone else."
Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe, who may well become a government leader in nation inside a nation soon "...joked that the Bloc would give its tickets to Prince Charles..."
In a related story, several Tory backbenchers allegedly released their seats to Stub Hub, an online ticket reseller/scalper.
