The Unelected Canadian Senate - Three More Appointees

Three more unelected Canadians have become members of the unelected Canadian Senate, bringing the total appointed by the current elected Prime Minister to sixty-one. Please revise the totals given in the table previously published in the Canadian Vindicator.

To date the score stands at 842 unelelected, 1 elected.

The announcement of the three new appointees was made public on Thursday, October 4.

"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.

And that power is at your finger tips.

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.

If a Member of Parliament ignores your e-mail, let that fact be known. Other members will be glad to know. Earlier this year, 2001, one Member thought fit to wonder why he should support a constituent who hadn't voted for him in the previous general election. When other members found this out, they had a field day, and the erring member was pilloried, day after day, until the lesson was learned that representing a constituency meant representing all its residents.
