Twist it any way you want. The Council members are appointed by the GOVERNMENT
ya ya, is this you claiming there's been no Conservative parties associated with any of the past Alberta candidates selected, elected, nominated and then appointed as Alberta Senators? And this is what you purport to be as the model of a most democratic, independent and non-partisan undertaking, right? Such a model that no other provinces have recognized it - have followed it! Such a model that it does an end-around that Supreme Court of Canada ruling I detailed... apparently that fits with your kind of democracy, yes?
and... you made some rather dubious claims about the federal members of the Advisory Board for Senate Appointments - I challenged you to either cite support for your claims... or retract them! I'm still waiting.
