The sooner they hold elections the sooner at least one part of the senate mess gets fixed.<br /><br />That is unless the Liberals return to power and ignore the provincial votes as Martin did with Alberta when he appointed the piano player over the duly elected choice of the people of Alberta. That is a question I would hope Iggy is asked about at a town hall sometime in the near future.Ardvarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-26045861772461949332009-08-31T10:48:47.142-06:002009-08-31T10:48:47.142-06:00Rob C

This comment was made by Pamela Wallin.<br /><br />As of now, Saskatchewan has legislation before their Provincial Parliament to enact Senatorial Legislation; Manitoba is introducing such legislation this fall; I have not yet heard about the other 7 Provinces. I think it is only a matter ot time before all provinces comply.Richnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-68275819372995835992009-08-29T22:01:05.957-06:002009-08-29T22:01:05.957-06:00It's only 2009, so it would be singular as in ...It's only 2009, so it would be singular as in decade, the unemployment was worse all through the 80's and 90's.<br />Remember the 68 cent dollar?

I think he used up all of his words on Thursday talking about the senate appointments to anyone who had a microphone.<br /><br />Harper won this week hands down. Even if you have issues with the senate appointments he has gotten the issue front and center again in the press.Ardvarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500944437649023719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21136151.post-28654916384232769072009-08-29T18:47:30.353-06:002009-08-29T18:47:30.353-06:00what does Layton say about this.
