And You Thought the Senate Was Toothless
Not when it comes to protecting their financial interests, they're not. Yes, sir, even the ones who rarely even make the pretense of showing up for work, managed to rouse themselves on this issue. "Imagine the indignity and angst this would cause us esteemed senior legislators!", they huffed, "And then there would be all those nasty conflicts of interests--mainly of the economic kind."
They managed to kill the independent ethics officer bill and the cruelty to animals bill. These unelected (if you don't count Chretien appointing them) patronage boys, can tie up important legislation. Why do I see a secret hand behind their decisions?
