Thursday, March 24, 2005 Senate appointments: WHAT A FARCE The sad thing is the Prime Minister is going to get away with this because, well, no one can stop him. And by appointing Remeo Dallaire along with some of these other clowns, he's innoculating himself agains the charge that the appointments are all partisan. I just love how he appoints two out of the nine to sit as "Progressive Conservatives". (Is anything "conservative" or even "progressive conservative" about Nancy Ruth? Don't think so.) These folks are going to sit with the rogue caucus of Joe Clarkites who declined to join the new Conservatives after the merger -- Norman Atkins, Lowell Murray, et al. Now Martin can say he is adding "diversity" to the Senate without enlarging the caucus of the Conservative Party. Oh, how clever. Albertans must be furious. And they should be. How much longer can they take these slaps in the face? # posted by Adam Daifallah : 5:16 PM    << Home   National Post peeps RSS - Syndicate me! Andrew Coyne J.
