Can an appointed senator to the age of 75 be fired? I doubt it but this one deserves it.
I remember the news media (I use that term loosely) and liberals in Canada were all up in arms because during the election, Stephen Harper said that the Canadian senate and courts were filled with liberals. The nerve of the man to suggest that there was bias in the senate and courts.
Recently, however, the nerve and bias of these senators was displayed by appointed for life Liberal senator Celine Hervieux-Payette. Read the following article by the CBC and note the headline. The headline really doesn't tell you what the story is really about, does it? Senator fires back at US family upset with seal hunt. Did she fire back with the reasons the seal hunt is important? No, she mentioned it but she mainly fired back insults. She fired back with a bunch of leftist, anti-American, anti-Iraq war, anti- diatribe about the US. Her personal opinion surely did not taint her response to this US family when responding as a Canadian senator? No bias there. Harper has his work cut out for him with years of liberal senate and court appointments stacking the deck. I hope the liberals did a better job appointing their judges.....
Senator fires back at US family upset with Seal Hunt
I am ashamed that this woman spoke for our country. Can we at least muzzle these people in international affairs?

Sadly, Albertans seem to be the only ones completely onboard the Triple E senate. Without a majority, I'm not sure what Harper can do other than encourage other provinces to climb aboard.
I was appalled at this woman's inappropriate response to an American. Regardless of that family's grasp (or lack thereof) on the seal hunt, there is no way in Hell a Senator should be speaking (or worse, putting it on paper) like that.
