Sometimes, when it comes to the insider access POV's of the Legislative Gallery's Glimmer Twins all you have to do is wait a couple of weeks to see the worm fully turn.
To wit, Mr. Shaw's recent Postmedia Mama Mia calorie-free Cuppa piece:
The legislature’s former sergeant-at-arms cannot be disciplined for a finding of discreditable conduct in a new report because he abruptly retired last week.
The NDP government house leader, Mike Farnworth, said there’s no ability to recover any salary, retirement, vacation or other benefits given to Gary Lenz when he was sergeant-at-arms. Lenz is accused in a new report of lying about his knowledge of missing liquor at the legislature and failing to investigate the incident...
{snip}
...(Former clerk of the legislature Craig) James resigned in May. He was found to have committed workplace misconduct in an investigation by former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada Beverley McLachlin.
Lenz was cleared by McLachlin and asked for his job back.
But Plecas launched the LePard probe instead. LePard concluded Lenz had lied to McLachlin over what he knew about $8,000 in missing liquor that James had loaded into his own pickup truck at the legislature in 2013...
Imagine that!

Again, Mr. Plecas gave his side of the story to Bob Mackin while those with all the glimmers, not to mention the smirks and smarm, were smacking the speaker down over his travel budget.

Journalists, even the poseur version ensconced in the legislative press gallery, should be expected to possess a natural aversion to shooting the messenger. Yet pretty much all we see in this case is a consistent and unseemly penchant on their part to do just that.
The previous Speaker is the one riding silently without a fare receipt, and poseurs like Keef are the people with a lot to answer for in that regard.

They've already moved on, although clearly the Dean didn't take kindly to learning that he'd been spun, hard, by at least one insider he's likely come to rely on for keeping his 'savvy'* on.
*See, Rosen, Jay.
