He’s smart as hell, and knows and respects the boundaries between politics and the BoC.
Don’t forget he ran the Bank of England under Boris Johnson, and although he didn’t personally agree with Brexit he managed to drag the UK through it relatively unscathed (he left in 2020).
He has always been my pick, even before he entered the leadership race.
So if he is now forced to stay silent then that allows the Liberals to lie to the people, lie to the public, and Poilievre can’t explain why what they are saying is false.
Nobody is forcing PP to stay silent. He doesn’t want to get security clearance because then he wouldn’t be able to lie about shit he’s been privy to.
If you can’t speak to facts, sit down.
Politicians didn’t have anything to do with this public inquiry.
Marie-Josée Hogue, who ran the inquiry, is a judge.
You asked about the term limits …
No I didn’t. I asked for the OP to, “Please explain the issues you see, and provide supporting evidence, concerning no term limits for senators.”
How does a body who votes on legislation who are unaccountable to the general public a good thing?
They rarely vote on legislation. They do debate complex proposed legislation (often before the HoC debates it, at the request of the HoC) because their schedule is more flexible than the HoC’s.
As for accountability I will point to south of the border where most political officers are elected and ask if you think that system is better than ours? Because from my 65+ years perspective it is not. Elections can be bought (Elon just did it) and manipulated (re: gerrymandering).
Thanks for the heads up.
What a scuzzy cunt he is.
I always wonder when exactly ON is ever going to get sick and tired of that asshole.
Because electing someone in no way, shape or form means that they’re any more competent or honorable than someone who’s appointed.
The Senate is there to keep the gov’t from doing whatever it wants. It weighs the value of legislation against how it would affect citizens and the Charter.
Just wondering if you have the same issues with judgeships that are appointed across the board in Canada.
Vapers like myself who use refillable RTAs/RTDs are already taxed up the ass for juice. I purchase from bargain e juice where a 120 ml bottle is about $25, and provincial/federal excise taxes are around $35. So for a bottle that 10 years ago I could purchase for $15-18, I now pay $60.
Fuck taxing us more.
Okay. And what are the problems you see with that?
Please explain the issues you see, and provide supporting evidence, concerning no term limits for senators.
Hellberta proving yet again why its nic is appropriate.
What a stupid headline. Insinuating that Trudeau is the only PM doing this is beyond the pale … because every former PM has done the same.
This is setting aside the fact that the Senate, being appointed rather than elected, has almost always set aside partisan politics in order to act as a check on the current parliament.
The stupidity shown by governmental oversight in this battle is beyond compare. Instead of restricting cheap over-the-counter disposable vapes, they approved them – then restricted more expensive rebuildable tank and drip attomizers that required mod units to operate.
I truly have to wonder how many of those with oversight on the original vape issue had stock options in vaping companies that sell disposable units … because it seems they ignored common sense for utter ignorance and possible selfishness.
Yeah, you did undermine Canada.
Maybe it’s time to head south of the 49th and kneel at the orange feet.
Don’t forget Trudeau gave each province/territory billions in extra healthcare funding. Unfortunately none of the premiers would sign the agreement locking in that funding to healthcare alone … so they can spend it any way they want.
