Nobody is criticizing Joe Clark or Pierre Trudeau for appointing Senators to their cabinets either. But, as usual Slava, deflect, deflect, deflect. While it was unusual, there is precedent for what Harper did and the Senate is a legitimate component of the federal government. Is there precedent (particularly in Alberta history) for what Prentice is considering? But more importantly, what does it say about his opinion of both his own party's MLA's and the people who elected them?
