Bullshit, plenty of them have party attachments. The mere fact that they are appointed by a partisan prime minister gives them a party attachment.

read it again! I said there are no official formal party attachments IN ALBERTA! But, again, given the history/results in Alberta, there has clearly been a run of candidates/elected & nominated that had strong attachments to Conservative parties (again, Reform, PC and UCP party attachments).  Somehow you have the audacity to suggest/imply this Alberta only process has been democratic! Geezaz!

The so called Independent Advisory board are government appointees, they aren't independent at all.

Aside from Labelle who had served in government under both parties, of the two other permanent members of the so called "independent" advisory committee, one is an ex Liberal staffer and the other is an ex deputy attorney general of a Liberal provincial government. No doubt the two provincial representatives will be similar choices.

the waldo calls bullshyte: provide citation to support your claim OR retract it!
=> current federal members (other than the already detailed Chair):
- Melisa Blake & Francois Rolland
=> current Alberta members:
- Elizabeth Cannon & Karen MacKenzie

This is all about control and you know it.

really, hey! There are currently NO Liberal Senators; the previous Liberal Senate Caucus was not formally affiliated to or recognized by the Liberal Party. Per PM Trudeau's want/initiative, this Caucus was dissolved in 2019 and all members became 'independent'; these members either positioned formally as Independent Senators or they became a part of a newly formed non-partisan parliamentary group, the Progressive Senate Group. This was in line with the initiative bringing forward the Advisory Board for Senate Appointments. There still continues to be a formal Conservative Senate Caucus.
