Harper to fill Senate vacancies before Christmas

Article


"This is quite shocking to fly in the face of the confidence motion on the table, that he would think that he could do any of these kinds of things," Ontario Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett said Thursday in Ottawa.

"He pulled the plug on his own government.… And this government has no money to spend now and yet he's going to appoint Senate seats. I mean, it's appalling. He has no moral authority to do anything."


Liberals do this all the time when they were in power.

"no Moral Authority" is the catch phrase for "I don't like what you're doing , but yes it's perfectly legal" by the way.


Harper has called for senators to be elected rather than appointed by the prime minister as is the current practice, or for the body to be abolished if changes can't be made.

"Now they say they need to have some people in the Senate, but what they're saying is that the people that they are going to appoint should support the idea of Senate reform," CBC's Margo McDiarmid reported from Ottawa.


So why is it the notion that "We're not a majority , we can't change the system , so we gotta live with the hand we're dealt" not occuring to anyone ? Because they're all big business. These TV stations, these news networks, they're all massive country spanning BIG BUSINESS, and the Liberals are the pro big business party and can do no wrong , and the Conservatives are the anti-big business party and can do no right and thats the way all these biased obviously self centered propaganda types that call themselves newsies that long ago stopped being newsies work the system.

Did you see that circus when the prime minister made his address a few days ago and Dion was an hour late with his presentation ? They spent half an hour running the prime minister into the ground and nit picking his every little action , while pillering Dion as a saint.

It was barely mentioned that it was inconvenient to them for Dion to be so late like this and waste their network time.

But they did mention some conspiracy theory that Harper was doing this on purpose because he wanted to get turfed from power because now was such a bad time with the bad economy and all , let someone else take the fall for it all ...

Neutrality and even handed reporting, checking with both sides on an issue. That gone now. It's not coming back. There's money on the table and these news corporations stand to gain or lose a metric tonne of it depending on who gets in power and who gets turfed. And so truth ... becomes disposable. And disposed of.

This is why I don't watch TV or read papers anymore.
