There's no point in having incredibly qualified MPs if they're all whipped on every vote. And that's the way Canadian politics works - an MP is just a glorified seat filler.

Get us an electoral system that breaks up the majority rule and allows MPs to actually represent their constituents, and I'll fully support a gratuitous salary.

For now, I think paying the median wage in Canada would serve just fine to try to motivate these mushrooms to improve the working conditions of the 99%.
