Independent Senators = Turds

Life is funny. I’m sitting here trying to come up with something to write about, I mean… there’s Norman, China, election issues; but then comes along a glorious news article which really works to solidify some of the healthy skepticism I’ve been attempting to foster in you (all three of my readers!) over the past week (and will continue to do so as we approach the 2019 election).

Having said that, please take a gander at exhibit A:

Okay, so let’s break this down. When Trudeau was elected in 2015 he promised to abolish partisan politics in the Senate by appointing ‘independent’ senators. Good show, good show. I mean, I support the sentiment, only problem is these ‘independent’ senators are just liberal senators… it’s the same game with a different name. (You can call a turd a filet-mignon, but when I bite into it, it still tastes like shit 😉 )

So, House of Commons resources are never to be used for partisan activities, seeing as that money is supposed to come from the Parties themselves through their fundraising… not fucking tax payers dollars (sorry, it happens all the fucking time though because people just don’t notice… and the news doesn’t bother reporting it to the extent they enjoy covering scandals or celebrity bowel movements).

Pretty clear here that this ‘independent’ Senator (cough liberal cough) sent out a poll with pretty obvious intent… (that intent being to gauge whether people are happy with the liberals changes to the Senate… which funny enough, close to 80% of Canadians said they want the Senate to ‘retain’ these changes… although as I’ve just fucking showed you, really nothing has changed… so I mean, that’s a whole other issue with public ignorance that I could rant about…).

And god bless her, Ms. Dasko went right ahead and submitted this clearly biased poll to be footed by the tax payers, and I mean, it’s not even on her, just like Duffy wasn’t the one who approved all his bogus residential claims. Why do the fucking bureaucrats approving these things never have to answer for their decision to green light? Oh right, because French…

Basically, the Senate’s Board of Internal Economy ought to deny these expenses and then if we really want to play fair, all these ‘independent’ senators can go ahead and just call themselves Liberal. L
