Hogwash Harper appoints 5 more Senators
Harper named five Conservative backers — three men and two women — to the upper chamber, a move that increases the Tory seat tally to 51 versus 49 for the Liberals and promises to give the party more control over the legislative agenda.
Progressive Conservatives and Independents hold the remaining five seats in the 105-seat chamber, leaving the Harper Conservatives two seats shy of a majority.
The weiners are:
Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu, Bob Runciman, Rose-May Poirier, Vim Kochhar, and Elizabeth Marshall
What a lyin' liar he is, here is what the NDP has so correctly stated about this latest batch of Harper lies:
Today’s Conservative press release says:
"The Prime Minister's action has not only brought additional talent and expertise to the Senate; it has greatly strengthened our efforts to move forward on our tackling-crime agenda."
The Facts
When it prorogued the House of Commons in December, the Prime Minister killed 15 of his own justice bills.
Stephen Harper did the exact same thing in 2007. Proroguing Parliament then killed five of the Conservative’s justice bills, which they had to restart from first reading when the House resumed.
But don’t take our word for it. Listen to Stephen Harper’s newest Senator from Quebec:
“[Victims’ rights activist Pierre-Hugues] Boisvenu says his group was disappointed after the prorogation of Parliament earlier this month scrapped bills that would have called for tougher measures on crime.” – CanwestNews Service, 25 September 2007

The new senator, speaking to reporters this morning. "And what is worse, are politicians who say one thing while the cameras are running but do another when they think no one is paying attention ... Michael Ignatieff wants you to believe that he is tough on crime, but when push came to shove, Canadians couldn't count on him to protect their safety. After months of Liberal stalling and delays, Ignatieff's Liberals gutted this important piece of legislation. Canadians are fed up with unelected Liberal senators doing Ignatieff's dirty work and standing in the way of action to protect victims and get tough on dangerous criminals. Michael Ignatieff needs to explain to Canadian why his own unelected Liberal senators gutted this special measure and he needs to tell his Liberal senators to support it when it is reintroduced and Canadians expect nothing less."
Conservative Party, Dec. 10, 2009. "When the cameras are rolling, Ignatieff wants you to believe that he is tough on crime. But when push comes to shove, Canadians can't count on him to protect their safety. After months of Liberal stalling and delays, Ignatieff's Liberals have gutted our Conservative Bill and put children's safety at risk. Canadians are fed up with unelected Liberal Senators doing Ignatieff's dirty work and standing in the way of action to protect victims and get tough on dangerous criminals. Michael Ignatieff needs to explain to Canadians why his own unelected, Liberal Senators gutted this important piece of anti-crime legislation and instruct the unelected Liberal Senators to reverse these changes - Canadians expect nothing less."
