The powerlessness of the Senate guarantees the authority of the elected MPs. Now if you guys would just exercise the powers you already have....
I have always hated the senate as a group of the entitled without a democratic mandate.
But the idea of @charlesadler becoming a senator gives me hope.
I can't wait to see him take his place in the upper chamber.

Yes, lively time, lots of discussion. Beach or Beaches? Still in dispute.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support UTP author Richard White at the launch of his new book The Beaches.
It was a fantastic night!

Looking forward to this chat with @ken
Meanwhile, it says here you should hurry on down to join, ahem, "renowned author Ken McGoogan" and Adventure Canada for an evening of exploration, history, music, and culture. Ken will razzle-dazzle a slideshow and chat with historian Christopher Moore. lnkd.in/eUCuKnND

Child/pension benefits to reduce poverty, movement on denti/pharmacare, keeping everyone solvent during Covid & healthy too, building Alberta's last pipeline while also taking climate action (carbon levies!), fixing the Senate, nixing PR, coping with Trumpy US. Not much?

Go. It's a hoot and a very smart movie, even for old guys who never played with dolls in their lives.
My wife is going to see Barbie tonight with our two daughters. I am not invited. I wonder if @IanBourrie wants to go with me? Or maybe I should have gone with @JustinTrudeau. Looks like he and his son had a good time.

All the writers named Christopher Moore with whom I have been confused -- and anyone else who has an evil twin -- will find this funny.
Anita and me - sitting down with the Canadian defence minister @AnitaAnandMP - and the frequent muddles our shared name causes x

Enriched with much Christopher Moore content., happy to say!

Great to see the media going for JB's historical good sense, instead of the usual death-of-history drivel.
