The Senate of Canada: Tradition and Ceremony

[trilobright]

In general I think Canada's government is superior to ours in America, but I'm glad that even though Washington DC is the most corrupt place on earth, our politicians don't dress up like Methodist ministers with whalebone hats.

JUDGE TYSO IN CANADA RULED OUT SENIORITY ! DOES THIS MEAN UNDER THE EQUALITY OF THE LAW ?!! THE QUEEN THE GOVERMENT THE COURTS & The LAWS of PRESEDENCE HAVE NO SENIORITY and NO PRECEDENT :TO STAND ON IN LAW ! ACCORDING TO CANADAS JUDGE TYSO : & HIS RULING FOR SENIORITY FOR IATSE 891 MEMBERS . = THE NEXT IN LINE FOR THE CROWN CAN ALSO GO F-HIMSELF? WHATS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS ALSO GOOD FOR THE GANDER. IF THERE IS AN EQUALITY TO ANY LAW ? NO SENIORITY LAW MEANS NO SENIORITY LAW ?

I think that for once, french AND english people in Canada want to abolish the senate, and i'm one of them!!!

If you saw the latest southpark episode , apparently its a tradition to jerk off the princess arm at the alter and shoving it up the ass

canadian traditions suck

[contacter]

Abolish the Senate. Its merely a dumping ground for coporatist lackey failed candidates of King Stephen, House of Harper. Get rid of the damned place. It has always been a millionaires club. Second chambers are mere chambers of privelege.

[angrywinds]

LOL Canada is still a bitch to the Queen. LOL

America kicked them little royal bitches out 300 years ago. time to catch up, Northern suburb.

[Muckish33]

@angrywinds Its funny how Canada has maintained the Queen and is a more democratic country than America isn't.

[JiminPalmSprings]

@angrywinds what a little rude bitch you are. Sorry Not all Americans are ( like me)

[Yipperson]

If the traditions and institutions of your country strike you as 'pompous' and 'elitist', you might be about due for a change of address.

[pspboy7]

I have no problem with tradition, but the senate needs to be reformed.

[adanacdave]

What a crock of shit. What do the "common people" of Canada have a say in this pompous, elitest ceremony. Especially the politicians who have claimed themselves as "being above poitics" (Adrienne Clarkson)

[Muckish33]

@adanacdave Adrienne Clarkson was the Governor-General so she was not a politician. Governor-Generals are the ultimate referees of parliament... so they better be above the politics of the day and seen not to side with political parties.

@adanacdave What do we have a say in any part of government? Removing the Queen doesn't change anything.
