Dean Del Mastro Has Resigned As MP

/

Developing story...

UPDATED: Here's the video of his resignation in the House...

The Young and the Restless

-------

Peterborough is without an MP as Dean Del Mastro has resigned his seat, CBC reports, less than a week after being found guilty of spending too much on his 2008 campaign. "I will not be a distraction in Peterborough," he said during his emotional resignation in the House of Commons.

Del Mastro was found guilty last week on three counts of violating the Canada Elections Act—exceeding spending limits during the 2008 election, failing to report a personal contribution of $21,000 to his own campaign and knowingly submitting a falsified document.

No word on when the by-election will be.

What makes the project special, aside from its format, is the inclusion of theatre veterans with those who have never performed before. A "crash course" if you will, newcomers have been given the opportunity to get on stage for what may be the first time in their life. It consistently provides great results and a thrill for those on and off stage. Many audience members can't believe what they are seeing wasn't even on paper the night before.

See all the Featured performers in the poster below. Tickets are $10 at the door. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., showtime is at 8 p.m. The Gordon Best is located at 216 Hunter Street West.
