...it is still a secret process where the PM calls the shots... it is still a secret process where the PM calls the shots. We can never judge how good it is because we can never know who the other candidates were and it is all a secret until you hear the new senator’s name.
as I've stated previously, when all you've got is to keep nattering on about a "secret process", your conspiracy theme has you doubting the integrity of the Advisory Board process and the value/worth of its merit-based nomination candidates. You've never actually qualified your continued blathering on about the "PM calls the shots" - the PM has no say in the Advisory Board process; the PM does not select potential candidates for nomination, the PM does not review and deliberate over the potential candidates, the PM does not select nominations from the potential candidates, the PM does not present the resultant 5 nominees. All the PM does in your idiotic blustering is... select one of those 5 Advisory Board presented nominations.
you backpedalled to say all you wanted/needed was a list of those names... and I've repeatedly asked you just what you would do with that list (of 4 other names)? Since you refuse to answer the requests, I can only presume you would want to do your own "due diligence" on those names... cause, per your conspiracy, you doubt the integrity of the Advisory Board process and the value/worth of its merit-based nomination candidates. Meanwhile you project the sham Alberta process as one you're quite comfortable with even though it is rife with partisan influence. You even went so far as to say/imply you're quite fine with a dependent and partisan Senate!
Who says the Senate has to be independent and non partisan? There is nothing in the Constitution that requires it.
yes, in your repeated hypocrisy and contradictory statements, on one hand you state the Advisory Board process is an improvement... and then you tout a dependent and partisan Senate - you clearly hearken back to the days when Prime Ministers appointed bagMen, party loyalists, partisan media-types, lobbyists, donors, key fundraisers, etc.. As I said, Canada does not need a U.S. style highly partisan elected Senate... where all too often needed legislation just goes no where! That's what you're championing as you continue to beak off about, "
supposed secrecy & that the PM calls all the shots"!
