I have nothing but good things to say about Romeo Dallaire. If you look at what he has done and do some reading on the guy, like his book for example. I really don't think you could create a more amazing person to be put in as a senator in Canada. This guy is the most moral person I have ever known and can only do good for Canada.

One good appointment doesn't make up for eight other bad ones.

Art Eggelton gave an untendered contract to a former girlfriend. He also lied to Parliament about several other issues. It's a disgrace that he was appointed... the only purpose was to stick it to Chretien.

Martin claimed that he appointed CPC and NDP Senators, but none of them belong to those parties. It's all just a sham.

Instead of appointed the elected Senators from Alberta, who did Martin appoint? The leader of the Lieberal Party of Alberta.

Shameful patronage.

Originally posted by ShadoWolf That's exactly my point. The constitution doesn't mention the position of PM, and yet PM's have been abusing their position by making outrageous appointments and not being responsible to the legislature. Australia has a Triple E Senate, why can't we?

It's no different than the UK Constitution from which our's is derived. The same story happens there.

And yes, the PM is responsible to the legislature. If the MPs at any point lose faith in his / her leadership, they can dump the PM in a vote of confidence.

Originally posted by Moral Hazard Hey, dumbass.... you're right, Canada is not a democracy.... it's a constitutional monarchy. The way we work here is; the people elect the house of commons, the majority party in the house of commons becomes the government, the government makes recommendations to the Queen or in her absense the Gov. Gen. and the monarch acts on those recommendations. The democratic part of this comes at the very begining when yuo vote for your member of parliament... last I checked there was a legitimate election that resulted in a legitimate government.

Actually, Canada is a parliamentary democracy.

ShadoWolf what was your point to this post again?
What were you trying to accomplish?
And why would you do this on a Good Friday of all days?

Show a little courtesy or respect and end this senseless thread now.
Listen to Moral Hazard, baystreetboi and all the other TAs that have posted here already
