I think twelve years later it pretty agreeable that compensation alone is not what stopping Canadians from having decent MP's and in itself there's a lot of sitting MP's that's probably not even worth minimum wage.
Fun chart I made:

109 second video from 2012. This is going to be a rather long summary for a short video,
I'm not talking about overall atheism rates. More so extremely overtly religious people seem to be on the rise where as the same people used to be a bit toned down.
I have noticed people becoming more religious in the last year or so.
Just to make things easier for people.

"Hodgins says he was offered a C$2,000 flight voucher by the airline, but said compensation would not “fix the problem” of how the airline failed its disabled passengers."
