Who’s running the party now?

Reflections on the Senate Appointments

Harper has appointed Doug Finley and Don Plett to the Senate. Having met both men on a few occasions, I congratulate the Prime Minister on excellent choices. Both are very intelligent, hard-working, love their country, and, as the media has kindly pointed out, they are firmly on Harper’s side.

This whole exercise (appointing Senators in order to reform the Senate) wouldn’t be necessary if politics worked logically – let’s face it, it’s a pathetic eyesore of an institution in a great democracy like Canada.

However, the Liberals have a vested interest in it, and the NDP and Bloc just want to see it ditched, not reformed.

The Question Now

Who will be the new Party President?

More importantly, who will run the next campaign, and take the reins where Finley has left off?

The media obviously doesn’t care about this, but I am quite interested.

Jacques Demers

Is anyone else disgusted by the drivel appearing on some of the news sites putting down Jacques Demers for his illiteracy?

If these people had any idea of the back story of this amazing man, they might be inclined to reflect on how pathetic their own life story is, despite their literacy, in comparison (or, maybe they’ll just go back to watching American Idol).
