Montreal MP Tyrone Benskin

The life of an artist isnt always easy. I have had lean periods. I have lived in precarious conditions, not knowing what the future had in store for me, sometimes without a contract for several weeks, or even months. I have had to juggle bills, Benskin said and An NDP MP has been suspended from the partys shadow cabinet after it was revealed that he owes more than $58,000 in back taxes.
