bigdude Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 So now we have an unelected but Canadian taxpayer funded Liberal senator supporting Karla Homolka. Of all the brain-dead activities that politicians have recently been engaged in, resulting in the Gomery commission, and the Ethics Commissioner investigating the Liberal vote-buying scandal, this one looks like it takes the cake. Where do they get these people anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Terrible Sweal Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Sorry, but I haven't heard anything about this. Please post a link. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A link? Why would he post a link? All that would do is show how his diatribe lacks any connection to reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmy Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Senator Biron is articulating a point of view that an elected individual could not. It takes a lot of courage for him to express such an unpopular view, and this is an argument in favor of having an unelected senate. I believe he's completely wrong, however. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 I too think it was inappropriate for the good Senator to make an appearance at Homolka's court case. If he wants to support poor Carla, fine, but not at taxpayer's expense. If his motive was "strictly personal" then perhaps he can reimburse the public purse.

bigdude Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Liberal MP Calls for Senator to Resign Walt Lastewka says he's appalled by Biron's decision. This is starting to get very ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdude Posted June 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Karla Homolka Receiving Moral Support From Liberal Senator Karla Homolka has the support of at least one very important person in Canada - a Liberal senator. Michel Biron who represents the province of Quebec was in attendance at Holmolka's court hearing in Joliette, Quebec last week. The senator was sitting beside Holmolka's lawyer during the court appearance and at one point exchanged a slight smile with the convicted killer. Great work senator!

August1991 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Biron told CTV News he was not there as a senator; rather, that his presence there was "strictly personal."..... Biron: "When I heard about the hearings, I decided to go to find out what was going on. I didn't have my Senate pins so the judge didn't know who I was." A senator cannot appear at such a hearing and say that his presence is "strictly personal". I wonder whether a Senator can appear in any public place on a "strictly personal" basis.There is no such thing as a part-time Senator. Senators can't have it both ways: all of the perks, but none of the responsabilities and duties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you even know who the judge was and who appointed he or she to the bench? Somehow I doubt it. Nice drive by slur although sentencing is not what is being discussed on this thread. It is this Liberal Senator's behaviour that is at issue here. Very, very bizarre to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
