Well, well! Another political folly. It's so easy to stay with a political blog agenda. You just keep on getting material handed to you. Senator Patrick Brazeau is my latest focus. This 'farce' got his position when he was 35 years old. Barely out of diapers, he's to instill mature decisions in the senate? He is aboriginal (Algonquin)- things getting clearer for you as to why he got the position? He has no special skills in any educational field. It seems he has been positioned there because of who he represents. He has tried many maneuvers thus far, from collecting two salaries, one from the senate and the other from being chief, to using another individual's address on the reserve to get income tax exemption. He is absent 25% of the time from the senates 75 sittings a year. He collects about $130,000 a year, plus a top-up for special positions. He can stay until he is 75 years old.
I am not a fan of the senate, and believe it is a huge waste of money. This just continues to prove my opinion. The senate has not vetoed any piece of legislation from the House of Commons since 1939. The special committees it formulates are very poorly attended and never taken seriously. They are mostly used for fact finding and advisory, the old smoke and mirrors in justifying their jobs. An example of this is Brazeau's attendance with an aboriginal committee that he attended only 35% of the time. Let me see, 105 senators at an average wage of $130,000+, that's close to 14 million dollars. That could be a start of the savings at the upper level. What do you think?
I mean Im really...
