… the officer is now recommending “sanctions of penalties by the Senate” against MacDonald.
Good. He seems to be following in the steps of Mike Duffy, Mac Harb, Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau and Lynn Beyak … all (except Harb) appointed by Stephen Harper.
Conservatives have a history of showing their true colours after being appointed to the Senate.
Brazeau is an interesting example, because he has engaged in some advocacy for vulnerable populations in recent years (e.g. warning labels on alcohol, pushing for research on male suicide). Does not absolve him at all of his past shenanigans, but I’d say he’s not lock-in-step the same as Duffy or Beyak and that ilk. Seems like he’s learned a little bit about what public office should be about.
This asshole, on the other hand… Senators should absolutely face sanctions, at the very least, for supporting seditious fuckwads and saying their voice matters over the everyday citizens that make up most of the population of Ottawa.
