Of course, Stephen Harper is fighting for his political life. Everyone in Canada (and those others who watch The Daily Show) know this. But now, the champion of senate reform is now going to appoint 18 new Conservative senators before Christmas.
Senators have the most ridiculously posh job on earth. Appointed by a prime minister, they have the job until the age of 75 - of course, that's assuming that the lazy little fuckers bother to show up at all.
He wants to even the odds. A palm-smack to the forehead, especially since his new 18 Conservative senators will put them in power - with only 20 less than the majority Liberals will still have.
Has Harper cut funding to education and I didn't hear??
