Ya waldo, political appointments are sure to be more independent than elected representatives. Why do we bother with elections at all. Liberals aren't interested in Senate reform, they prefer the present patronage system.
huh, political appointments - say what? You clearly no nothing about the Independent Advisory Board for Senate Appointments and its process to review/select nomination candidates! This reform undertaking is most certainly not a, as you say, "patronage system". Like I said, you clearly no nothing about it... I doubt you were even aware of it before the waldo introduced you to it, hey!
care to speak to the backgrounds/bios of the current 2 Alberta candidates putting their names forward? They make your statement about
independent elected representatives a laughOutLoud moment!
=> the one is a former United Conservative Party (UCP) president... now serving as the President of the Conservative Party association in an Edmonton riding & as the Chief Financial Officer of the UCP association in another Edmonton riding. She is also described as a close-ally of Premier Jason Kenney! You did use the word independent, right?
=> the other one is described as a social activist & an "online provocateur" - a guy also known in the past as a Senate abolitionist... a guy who reinforced his want to do away with the Senate by stating he plans to be the only Senate candidate that wants to abolish the Senate! Just the kind of person you'd want to elect to the Senate, hey member wilber!
