Parliament Hill or Animal House?

Tourists gathered on Parliament Hill this morning were amused by the sight of 75 pink fake pigs on the lawn.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation was denouncing the "gold-plated" pensions of 75 MPs. This is the number of MPs who are eligible this month to take their pensions.

"The MP pension-hogs need to get their snouts out of the trough" said Kevin Gaudet from the Federation.

These pigs might be pink, but they aren't flying.
