Sure I realize that the Senate is a great place to stash your buddies no matter whether you are Red, Blue or whatever friggin colour the NDP are. Oh and don't think for a minute that Prime Minister Mulcair won't stack that motherf*cker if and when.
But it has to go.
Globe and Mail Friday had yet another reason that the unelected cash for lifers have to be replace with a Triple E Senate, the kind Stephen Harper wanted when he was in the wilderness.
During the Ides of March the elected members of the House of Commons unanimously voted to allow single game betting on sports. Like they do in Vegas. Or one of the 600 plus bookies on line, books such as Bo Dog, a book run by a Canuckistanian or Bet 365 which is an official sponsor of the CFL. The Senate's reasoning is, of course, spurious. They are buying into the old story, put forth by the powers that run the NHL et. al. that if you allow betting on sports the games will be fixed. Like, seriously, what a pile of bull. The last thing that books and players want is fixed games, capeche? A level playing field is what they want. Plus there are those 600 plus books that are out there. No Blacksox scandal happening guys and gals.
Plus, if you recall, the private members bill, put forward by Dipper Joe Cromartin, passed unanimously. The will of the people and all that, eh?
Mr. Harper you have a majority; get rid of the cash for lifers. Now.
