Demand Poiliticians Take Concessions Now!

Who aside from me is fed up with the take , take, take attitude of Canadian Politicians. Are they immune to the current wave of concessions that are being demanded in the private sector? Perhaps it is time, that we as Canadian Taxpayers, demanded concessions on their part. More working days in Parliament, Less paid Holidays, restricted expense allowances and most importantly, no more full pensions after less than 10 years in office. Where else does that happen? Let them work 30 + years like everyone else to be eligible for a pension. Better yet, take the pension away, let them prepare for retirement during their working years like everyone else. Then they will know what the real world is like. Like an ex Prime Minister used to say back in the 80's, "time for everyone to tighten their belt". Little did we know he would be accused of lining his pockets at the same time.
