If you look at the break down of appointments

Chretien appointed 75 senators PET appointed 81 Mulrooney 57 and Martin 17

As much as you want this to point out that Harper is evil and running a secret agenda, its just the way the game is played.
He tried to push through Senate reform when the Liberals were in power and they scoffed at it

on one hand with a majority government I was kind of hoping he would now, but I can understand his "now that I can do it I should" attitude towards it

I hope he does it before the next election
