- Stephen Harper, We had Better Watch Him Very Closely

Ex-Tory candidate named to Senate, Ataullahjan's appointment comes ahead of crucial budget vote, July 9, 2010, CBC News

"In a release announcing her appointment Friday, the prime minister said Ataullahjan's political and social activism has:

'earned her a reputation of one who both stands against violence and stands for peaceful dialogue and consensus building.' [Prime Minister Harper]"

Am I reading this right (morally, that is).

Why would this be the factor considered in choosing a Senator.

What's going on here.

Is this an indication of a dark corner. You know, the type the media should be shining a light on

I mean besides shining a light on the sheer hypocrisy of Stephen Harper in appointing Senators and restrictions on our Democracy that the 880 page 'budget implementation bill' which contains many provisions that simply have been included because Stephen Harper knows they would never be accepted by parliament on their own.

The people of Canada have some serious reflecting to do.

We, the people, are the ones that are allowing Harper and the Con's to ruin this country of ours and we, the people, are the only ones that can put an end to it, by simply giving Harper and his Con's the boot.
