HMCS Shearwater

HMCS Shearwater: When I was first married 58 years ago, I lived in Windsor, as my wife worked there in the Bank of Commerce. I was a young sailor stationed at HMCS Shearwater and I commuted daily, according to The Chronicle Herald. Now we have MLAs living within easy commuting distance of the legislature getting this very generous allowance. I submit that if they live more than 150 kilometres from Halifax, they should be entitled to claim this allowance. Any living closer than that should be denied and Allowance outrageous You can imagine what my salary was as a Leading Seaman. I left in the dark in my little Austin A40 and got home in the dark and I did not get a housing allowance. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
