I mixed your e-mail up with maninthemirror. I am definitely a government employee critical of the theft. And I have a lot of friends over at DND who are appalled by what Champagne did and how long it took to catch him.

Otherwise, we are asking others to rip us off as well. I am sick and tired of people getting away with crimes. I don't want to let Lyin' Brian get away with his nonsense either. It's the attitude of just walking away that makes others thing they can get away with this disgusting kind of crime, ripping off your fellow Canadians for your own benefit.

Very well put. I work in the government and I see the horrible waste and barely legal things that go on. And it makes the honest and hard-working government employee (and there are lots of them) look bad.

My story is that I have never ripped off my fellow Canadians and I am a government employee. so that's who I am.

The idiots at DND that let him get away with this crime should be demoted to a job cleaning latrines. And McLeans should not be giving him any space to tell his "sad" story, Is there no morality and dignity left in this country?
