The Sins Of The Father?

But then again, perhaps Peter MacKay is only modelling his behaviour after his elders.

Peter MacKay Does Enjoy The Largess of The Public Purse, Doesn't He?

WHEN I GROW UP, I WANNA FLY A BIG JET!

It seems that Peter MacKay, the Defence Minister for our self- and inaccurately-proclaimed fiscal stewards, the Conservatives, does enjoy the generosity of Canadian taxpayers, but at least he is versatile in exploiting that resource. Not content to use it only to shorten his return home from fishing forays in remote regions of Newfoundland, he also likes to spend lavishly for photo-ops in F-35 mock-ups, probably every little boy's dream.

He must have been quite a play companion in his childhood.
