Its of little consequence, but 7 more senators were appointed today. They're comprised of failed candidates and CPC organizers as far as I can tell. One of them was elected to be a senator in waiting just a mere 7-8 years ago here in Alberta. Of course she would've likely been appointed anyway for her service to the Reform Party back in the day.

Cue the "The Liberals would do the same thing, only they're worse" comments sure to fill out the thread!
