Harper names Canola Council president Buth to senate.

[monte]

JoAnne Buth is one of seven new senate
appointees.

[Braveheart]

Isn't JoAnne a little young for that crowd? She could break somebody's hip in the afternoon floor shuffleboard.

[Burbert]

This is pay back fo all the behind the
scenes efforts to discredit the Comedian
Wheatie Bored. Stealing the Advanced
Payments Program etc. Promotin the
Albertie open fer business wild west side
show. Betcha she's even agin the long gun
registry, er wood that be senator White's
pay back fer his support?????

[Southpaw]

Burbert, it just shows your ignorance. The Canola Council of Canada has nothing to do with the cash advance program. The cash advance program is operated by the Canadian Canola Growers Association. Their membership is all the canola growers provincial organizations from Ont to BC. It is run by growers, so whats your beef???

[Burbert]

Let me ponder this fer a micro second.
Canola, is canola, is canola. Ifn it
walks like a duke and talks like a duck,
it is likely a duke. Harpie claimed he
was gonna scrap the Senate, not pack it
wit his Conservative hacks. Heil Harper!!

[silverback]

You have a link for that statement? Abolish? I don't think so.

[notaredneck]

What ever happened to Senate reform?????????

[FarmRanger]

Alberta elected a senator years ago (Bert Brown)
and he has already been appointed to the Senate
by the Conservatives. Constitutionally, Senate
reform can't be accomplished without all the
provinces being on-side.

If you want an elected Senate, lobby your
provincial government to help get it done.

[notaredneck]

Why lobby, I thought that was one of the many things Harpper campaigned on. Oh yeah, by loading the senate with cons he can do what ever he wants!

[TOM4CWB]

notaredneck,

ALL New Conservative Senators pledge to support senate reform.

So You mean like legislation forcing a maximum 8 year term and senate elections?
