The Unelected Canadian
Senate
Chrétien 63 not out;
Mulroney 57
Canadians will soon have
to consult Wisden,
the bible of cricket,
to keep score of the
Senate appointments
made by the present
Prime Minister, Jean
Chrétien.
In March he added another
two appointees to the
unelected Senate, bringing
his total to 63. The
latest duo were serving
as elected Members of
Parliament and just
happened to be members
of the Prime Minister's
own party.
And on it goes.
"But what can I
do? I'm only one person."
Yes, you may be only
one person. But you
are one person with
the power to make a
difference, one person
with the power to call
for change, one person
with the power to demand
that Canada become a
modern democratic state.
Simply use this site
to exercise the power
of the Internet. By
calling up the List
of Members you can
immediately contact
any Member of Parliament
by e-mail, state your
view on the unelected
Senate, and ask for
his/her response.
Please revise the totals
given in the table
previously published
in the Canadian Vindicator.
