Patrick Brazeau on his new job at Ottawa strip club

"You have to go up two flights of stairs and into a mostly dark room where hip-hop plays loudly to see where suspended senator Patrick Brazeau works now.

There is a stage and mirrors and, of course, a brass pole at the Ottawa strip club."

"Brazeau says he’s doing OK, his health is better, he’s learning the ropes on his second day. He doesn’t seem thrilled with his new job, but neither is he embarrassed.

“It is what it is," Brazeau says, “I’ve got four mouths to feed,” referring to his children." [Emphasis added]

"Isabelle, another dancer, comes along to chat and offer me some “company." When I tell her I’m a reporter, the conversation turns to Brazeau. She has only met him briefly and has no idea who he is or who he was. She doesn’t follow mainstream news, she tells me. She doesn’t really care who he is anyway. She is a little miffed, however, with how the day has unfolded. Earlier she got a text from one of her best customers who told her he wouldn’t be at the club today — too many cameras. She smiles and tells me she knows he’ll be back.

The cameras are gone now.

The club and the dancers are hoping they can just get back to their regular, rather discreet work.

I ask Brazeau whether he expects to see other people he knows at the club.

“It might attract some other clientele now,“ he says with a smile. It is true it's just a five-minute walk from his former place of employment.

He disappears through a back door marked Employees Only. The hockey game is over and Canada managed to win. Most of the gentlemen cheer and get up to leave."

And that's what should be expected in the early afternoon, dingbat.

Hey, CBC, it's a real job in the private sector. Can't say the same for yours. It must just kill you to see a First Nations man taking responsibility for himself and his family, and he`s a Conservative, too. So ripe for the picking, so pick, pick, pick you will.

The Toronto Star isn`t any better. Surprise, surprise.
