It’s the break I’ve been waiting for.
Breathless Trudeau the Sequel has sort of decided that from now on Canadian Senate appointments will be non-partisan, using an independent committee to make the selection from whatever province(s) that are due to be blessed with another trough feeder.
“Pick me, pick me” … I say shamelessly, as did all the others who have been sent to Red Haven. I am the epitome of non-partisan, I never knew who to vote for and I have no respect for most people. I will fit in seamlessly. Show me my chair and where the bathroom is, and I’ll be a happy, non-compliant but no-problem senator who will do the bidding of whomever approaches me with the most money.
If he really wants to make the Senate fair but non-elected, the Sequel will be taking a big step if he will forget the names I called his dad those many years ago. He was too young to remember anyway. I’ll take them all back Justin, if you’ll direct that independent committee you appointed, to appoint me to the hallowed chamber that taste and decorum forgot.
I will reluctantly drop my campaign to be Estevan’s mayor and devote all efforts to getting rich by way of the Senate’s inner workings and by spreading my significant (but non-partisan) political influence around, if that is at all oxymoronically possible.
Oh right, I forgot, we have to take the politics out of the Senate now. Ya, that’ll work. That’s like taking the ball out of golf, you sort of lose the essence of the game don’t you? Or, the same as taking a Smartphone away from a teenager. “like, ya, like that’s gonna happen, like I mean, whatever ya know.”
There are 22 seats to be filled in the Senate, even after Stevie Wonder, that Harper Boy made 59 appointments in the last few years of his reign of terror. Now Breathless Justin the Sequel can take my advice, that Stevie ignored, and simply not make any appointments … just like he said he would; would not do. You know what I mean.
We don’t need Senate reforms. We need no Senate. But if he’s going to insist, well, I repeat, pick me. I promise I won’t do anything, and everybody can relax, except the taxpayers who will have to pay me, but in the least expensive manner, I promise. It will cost you less than it would if you had me as the mayor of Estevan, believe me, with all those promises I have made on the local political front.
I climb aboard the Brad Wall non-Senate train when he said “no democracy should rely on an appointed body to have real decision-making authority.”
Based on that edict, the Senate needs to go as do all of Saskatchewan’s regional health boards.
One final note in parting from a Roughrider fan.
Does our provincial team really have to pay Chris Jones that much money to be coach and general manager? Do they really need to spend that kind of cash for a guy with a 29-11 record just because they have it? That money could disappear if Mr. Jones isn’t the miracle worker, and we’re staring at a 5-13 team next season and the sale of ‘Rider sweat shirts drops by 65 per cent. That $700,000 paycheque is going to look pretty onerous, especially if the Riders have to sign another $500,000 quarterback and four $100,000 defensive backs. But Darian, you can join me in the Senate once you get your citizenship card. I’ll talk to that pretend independent committee.
