It doesn’t matter if other provinces have taken Alberta’s lead, provinces should have the right to choose how to select who represents them.
"it doesn't matter" says member wilber! Ya ya, but what does it say about the unwillingness... the dismissiveness... of all other provinces in regards a so-called 'elected Senate'? What does it say, hey!
the Supreme Court ruled on the Conservative want to change the method of selection of senators by providing for direct elections:
the Court said Parliament could not unanimously amend the Constitution in instituting direct elections for senatorial positions since this constituted “a radical change in the nature of one of the component parts of Parliament.” So, again, this initiative by Alberta is nothing more than an end-around attempt to usurp the ruling of the Supreme Court of Canada! Have you no respect for the constitution member wilber?
So Hugettte Labelle, a Francophone Ontarian chosen by a Quebec Prime Minister chairs a committee that selects Alberta’s senators. A committee composed of a majority of non Albertans. Plus a PM can still ignore any recommendations they make. How democratic. How Liberal.
your desperation reeks! The Chair has impeccable credentials - iMpEcCaBlE!!! You have no foundation, no basis to slag said Chair - none!
