Spoken like a true lickspittle...
...instead of defending the lack of transparency at the heart of our governance.
'Freedom of information'...lol. the whole access process should be turned 180 degrees on its head so that governments are required to request things be kept secret and out of the public's hands instead of the other way around.
spoken with the fake outrage fervour of a true anti-government
rebel pirate... you're such a parody of that old salt with a peg-leg & an eye-patch! Arrrgh!
as Harper's key toady, Oakville Kenney couldn't get senate reform done when in cabinet... so instead, as Harper's anointedOne in Alberta, he continues this end-around attempt to circumvent that Supreme Court of Canada ruling. I'm shocked you have no problems with this very suspect, very partisan, very Conservative UCP influenced, "made-in-Alberta solution" - shocked I tells ya! I guess your zeal for transparency is rather selective, hey!
as an aside, I just heard the CPC leader O'Foole lie... purposely lie, in stating, (as the waldo paraphrases), "Trudeau's PMO had its hands all over this latest round of Senate appointments! Of course O'Foole was attempting to curry favour with partisan Albertan's already in the pocket of Kenney's UCP government.
the relatively new Advisory Board process nominating Senators for appointment is working very well - PM Trudeau has now appointed 57 Senators on the recommendation of the Advisory Board... putting the same challenge to you as I have to member wilber: do you have any concerns over the merit/qualifications of any of those 57 Senators appointed on the recommendation of the Advisory Board?
