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.

I'm not pointing out any secret agenda, its public knowledge and just feels like a secret because he waited until 4pm on a Friday to release it. That is the shame in all of this; these poor folks earned a chance to get in the senate, but because of the timing of the announcement they don't get the full media attention they so richly deserve!
Why not just open the talks and reform things though? He has the majority and really has no excuse at this point...
