One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

By Tim Kiladze

Although Stephen Harper has started to make concessions on his party’s November fiscal update, we can’t forget that he broke his promise of fixed election dates earlier this year and has now also formally parted ways with his pledge to elect senators. Unsurprisingly, the newly appointed senators who were announced today have deep ties to the Conservative Party, but the big shock has been the inclusion of CTV News commentator Mike Duffy. All of a sudden the release of that bumbling Stéphane Dion video back in October makes so much more sense.

    Please, look at the balance of the party affiliation within the Senate, then smile with me as the Liberals complain about partisan appointments.
    Harper probably shouldn’t have delayed in naming Senators when he could out of a belief that he might govern long enough to reform it, but Elizabeth May starts talking about how the coalition has promised her a Senate seat, I think there is sufficient reason to act.
