I Thought Women Where Equal?

Found this article in the Sarnia Observer .

"Elizabeth Cumming, 38, of Alvinston pleaded guilty to the fraud that occurred between March 1, 1996 and March 31, 2002. Along with her partner they got $70,000 to which they were not entitled by not reporting all their income."
....................................

"Cumming was given a suspended sentence and placed on probation for one year with the condition she pay the government $60 every month. A restitution order was made separately from the probation order. The restitution amount was set at $15,000."

.....................................

"The man had pleaded guilty in November to the same offence and was placed on probation for two years. He was required to repay $40,000."



Funny how that all works isn't it?There might be some mitigating factors but I'm sure both their brains functioned equally. Equality is grand until it comes time for a woman to pay the piper .
