Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
100%!
Leave the free money at the door when you go leech.
One more reason to get rid of the senate.
Trudeau would have even more power then. lol.
This particular Senator was appointed by Stephen Harper, you know, the guy who promised to abolish the Senate lol too funny!
True, abolish that unelected body..useless.
Truckers”Are Not”racist”or Hate”All u Gov”n elder ppl”shield”away Truckers”by hooligans”with hate symbols”This how Gov”never See pos-sides of Convoy”Go Truckers
No tough questions. Just let him share his opinoon. Does he support the charter of rights and is he against apartheid. Surely that is against law.
Maybe read the Charter, for starters. Starting with Section 1.
He is not happy with his party, but he sure loves his senate money and privilege – pathetic…..
So true.
Time to rid ourselves of this unelected Senate…
Six figure salary for three months of skirting responsibilities will fill your heart with self Intitilment!
This guy is as clued out as Trudeau.
This guy is so evil. Ppl can’t see the evil in government??????
Wow… hooliganism! You mean the hooligans who were shovelling snow, polishing statues and helping homeless?
The double standard when it comes to this protest and the BLM a protest is so blatant
BLM protests didn’t block up the streets with vehicles. BLM protests didn’t blare their horns 24/7, they didn’t light off fire-works. BLM protests were everywhere and not just Ottawa. BLM protests lasted a few days and were largely quiet in comparison… I know.. I was at several. BLM protests were scheduled events that stopped after they were done. Yeah, completely a double-standard.
Make the senate an elected position.
I’m the ‘real’ Canadian. The law doesn’t apply to me. That’s just for everyone else that has to obey me.
Sounds exactly like what the protesters are saying.
Just abolish it. Oh and the feral house of commons as well.
@Dan Sebastian Oh yeh Dan, just abolish it all…you kids are ridiculous.
He must live in a penthouse apartment right downtown, this guy shows you exactly why the Senate should be dropped
The party of law, that can be disbanded at any time for any reason at the behest of the government.
The party is now much stronger with out him
The unelected senator. Does anyone else think appointing senators is a joke and anti democratic?
The right to peacefully protest is not unlawful.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Trudeau was very vocal in his support of the Farmer’s protests in India, those protests shut the city of New Delhi, blocked railway traffic and lasted almost a year. I think it would be hypercritical of him to deny Canadians the rights he defended for Indians. By the way those Farmer’s succeeded in getting their government to change the laws they objected to.
Sounds like he puts a lot of emotion into his decisions. Witch should never be the case in politics. Best interest of Canadians rights! Sounds like he’s just upset they blocked his office.
