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.
