Who Are Your Senators And Why Are They Mostly Liberals?

Okay, all this elected senate debate made me think back to a provincial election where we had senate candidates on the ballot. I remember thinking, finally provinces will get some control over who we send to the senate. Sadly that was not to be. Martin did not appoint any of Alberta's senators in waiting. He thumbed his nose at us, and our senator elects.

So, I figure if senate reform is going to be an election issue, I should know who my senators are and who elected them.

Check out your province, see who your senators are, and what party they support, also take a look at who appointed them.

So, for Alberta, of 6 senators, 5 are Liberals, how did that happen in Alberta? Well, they were all appointed by Liberal PM's. Tommy Banks, a guy with a band, wow, I'm impressed with him as a politician, he will know all about policy in our government. As for the other 5, never heard of them, except Grant Mitchell, wasn't he a failed Alberta Liberal leader? Hey we didn't want him then, but now we are stuck with him in the senate? How he can hold his head up and say he is representing Alberta is unbelievable. We didn't want him as a Liberal leader, we sure don't want him as a senator. We are stuck with him, and all of the other liberal appointees.

Trudeau is dead, but we still have two senators in Alberta appointed by him (11 in total for the country). How is that fair, how is that democracy?

Bring on the vote for the senators to serve only 8 years, let all provinces do what Alberta did, choose their own senators. What a waste of taxpayers money the senate is. Get those senators away from the trough. If they don't like it, replace them.

We should start a petition to fire all the senators, and replace them with people we really wanted, not those former PM's appointed. We should have 5 senators per province and territory, to pass bills, and support what the provinces want. If they don't like that, then heck, let's just abolish this useless excuse of fake democracy.

Accountability at the least should mean that my Albertan senators should have a town hall every three months, so I can grill them on why they are not doing anything for Alberta, just for the Liberal party. Senators are supposed to represent their provinces, not their parties.

Hey, Mitchell, you sucked at being a liberal party leader, you suck even worse as a senator. I would love to say, YOUR FIRED!!! And take the rest of the no good liberal senators from Alberta, we haven't elected a Liberal party here in over 50 years, but we are stuck with you and 5 other hypocrites. OINK, OINK!!!
