The_Squid Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/06/26/senator-patrick-brazeau-calls-journalist-a-bitch-after-she-reports-his-poor-attendance-record/ Brazeau, 37, was absent for 25% of the 72 sittings between June 2011 and April 2012, the Senate attendance register shows. Brazeau wasn’t just missing from the Senate floor. Between June 2011 and April 2012, he also missed 65% of meetings at the aboriginal peoples committee on which he sits. He was away for 31% of the meetings of the human rights committee, where he is deputy-chair. The senator, appointed in 2008 by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.... His record of attendance is poor enough. Calling the reporter who reported on his attendance a bitch is uncalled for and classless. The state of the Senate under Harper is pathetic, especially considering his broken promise to reform it. Quote
BubberMiley Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 He also was beaten in a fight by Justin Trudeau. Pathetic. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet

Well, it's not as if it's a real job or that the senate actually does anything. Quote

The_Squid Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 You mean the one he knew or should've known he could never keep? He may not have been able to... however, he should have at least made an attempt to do so. There was never any attempt. Quote

The_Squid Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Posted June 26, 2012 you should google Andy Thompson - Lib senator From the 1990's? Let's try and keep this a little more current. What do you think about Senator Brazeau? Quote
TheNewTeddy Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 He said he has a reason and got hot under the collar. I can't speak for anyone else, but me, if someone caught me in a lie, I wouldn't want to say nothing, but if I had a damn good reason - one I wanted to keep private - I'd get pretty pissy too and start calling people names. I believe him. Quote Feel free to contact me outside the forums. Add "TheNewTeddy" to Twitter, Facebook, or Hotmail to reach me!

I'm guessing you're about six years old, right? Don't know anything at all about the Senate under Chretien or Martin, under Mulroney or Trudeau? Senators missing a lot? Wow. Stop the freaking presses! Next you'll bring us the shocking news that snow is cold!

BubberMiley Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Senators missing a lot? Wow. Stop the freaking presses! Next you'll bring us the shocking news that snow is cold! So no one should talk about it? They talked about it when the Liberals were in power, but of course I suppose any criticism of the Tories is "harper Derangement Syndrome." Don't mean it but needs saying. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet

Next you'll bring us the shocking news that snow is cold! A partisan hack defends their own "side" while condemning the other for doing the same thing. It was wrong then and it's wrong now. What do you think of Senator Brazeau and the job he is doing? Is it acceptable to miss so much of his job? Do you think he is an effective senator? Edited June 27, 2012 by The_Squid Quote
Topaz Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 The main question is, what does Harper think of the senator's attendance since HE appointed him, seems pretty quite on that end. Quote
Tilter Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Unlike patience, ignorance is far from a virtue. unlike common sense, most "quotes" a person makes up are inane Quote
Shakeyhands Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Do you think he is an effective senator? I enjoyed his work that one time that young Trudeau lad smacked him around (but good). Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Didn't know or care when it was Liberal senators either. Why do you?

scribblet Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 You mean the one he knew or should've known he could never keep? Sigh... are you saying there is no legislation on Senate reform in the works, or going forward ? Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province
The_Squid Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Posted June 28, 2012 Don't know. Don't care. Didn't know or care when it was Liberal senators either. Why do you? I care because this is my government. We are paying these appointed politicians a lot of money to do work for us. I like to know that Canadians are getting value for money. I am just funny that way! Why would you not care? Quote
