We haven't heard the last of Joe Fontana.
The RCMP are still investigating ponzi schemes that he's connected to.

Not to mention his bogus charity that issued millions of dollars worth of tax receipts but neglected to give most of the money to charities. The same charity that his son heads up. The same charity where one of the former board members (Joe's former partner) is charged with defrauding millions from people.
I just hope that the current legislation regarding MP pensions is passed. It would be retroactive and Joe would lose the portion of his pension paid by the taxpayers (he paid in about 10% of it with his own money).

Changes to parliamentary pension plan adopted in 2012:
Contributions by MPs and senators to the parliamentary pension plan are slowly increasing, and will hit a 50:50 cost-sharing ratio with taxpayers by Jan. 1, 2017.
The changes mean MPs will see their annual contributions rise from approximately $11,000 in 2012 to around $39,000 (or possibly slightly more, depending on MP salaries) by 2017. The largest hikes in MPs’ pension contributions will occur in the last two years of the phase-in.
Currently, parliamentarians who have served six years can receive full pension benefits at age 55. Starting in 2016, full pension benefits earned will be paid out at age 65.

By the way, that pension reform was proposed by the Harper Conservative government and most Canadians agree it is a good thing!

It is a good thing - after all these years in power, it is about time they got something right.

If the bill passes I don't think they can make the penalties to make it retoactive stand up in court.
