A Star reader has a succinct suggestion for the errant Senator Wallin: Re: She pays up, but Wallin’s not happy about it, Sept. 14 If Pamela Wallin really wants to “unburden” the people of Canada, and in particular the people of Saskatchewan, she will do the right thing and resign

Anne Kingston, a writer for Maclean’s, offer a peak at her upcoming exposé of Wadena’s Wayward Woman and her fall from grace: Breaking News: Despite her continued protestations of having done nothing wrong, Wallin has just repaid another $100K, accompanied by the following statement: “Although I fundamentally disagree with the

Think I’ll go out on my bicycle this morning. In the meantime, enjoy these letters on the Senate imbroglio found in yesterday’s Star: Machiavelli wrote: “Those who governed the state of Florence . . . used to say it was necessary to reconstitute the government every five years . .

But the question is, will the wily woman from Wadena accept this invitation from the Senate committee on internal economy, budgets and administration to visit with them? Perhaps, like her more infamous colleague, the already-disgraced Mike Duffy, she will turn down this opportunity to unburden herself? Meanwhile, some of the
