Sorry; Mac Harb was a Liberal appointee. He'll never see a day in court.E.R. Campbell said:...... so Brazeau, Duffy and Wallin will "skate," while Harb, who resigned before this could be done to him, will be prosecuted in court.

E.R. Campbell said:Rumour has it that the Auditor General, whose final report on Senators is due in late 2014, will both: a) make interim reports; and b) name names. My guess is that Conservative, Independent, Liberal and Progressive Conservative senators will all be stung. Coupled with the fact that I am 99.99% certain that the Surpemes will say that abolition of the Senate is not possible without a major Constitutional overhaul but some (considerable?) reform is within the Prime Minister's powers, I think the AG will give Prime Minister Harper a huge stick with which to beat the Senate reform :deadhorse: in the 2015 election campaign. Plus, I think it, Senate reform, will be a winning issue for the CPC.

And I'm sure electing senators will certainly keep party politics & partisanship out of the process too, right?dapaterson said:Until someone brings out the footage of the PM cavorting with Mike, Pat & Pam, and points out that they were named to the Senate on the PM's recommenadation.
"Look at the crooks I named to the Senate! I'm the only one who can clean it up!" does not resonate.
