17 Jun, 2010 | By John | This is my plea for the Senate of Canada to protect all Canadians from the demonstrable abuse of authority that the Harper government is attempting through Bill C-9. For a Budget to include the erosions to: environmental protections, Canada Post’s successful business model, and the privatization of atomic energy among others, at the very least weakens our democracy and cynically discourages the participation of citizens in our parliamentary process.
1 Jun, 2010 | By Gay | Please pass this bill as quickly as possible. We've seen so many climate initiatives die on the books because of changes in government or elections.
29 May, 2010 | By Sheri | I write to encourage the Senate to pass Bill C-268 before the summer break, without amendments.
5 May, 2010 | By maryam | canada as a country needs to evolve! stop your seal hunt and stop all the excuses as why you do this barbaric act! enough is enough! have some respect for your land, your oceans and the animals of your country. selling short!!!
5 May, 2010 | By John | The seal hunt is barbaric and cruel. That is the bottom line. To argue that it is part of Inuit culture is outrageous as a defence...
1 Mar, 2010 | By Elaine | I was fortunate enough to attend the 40th Anniversary Commemoration of the establishment of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Ottawa on the Hill a few weeks ago. I was shocked and outraged to learn how far Canada has regressed in the past few years and how our commitment to the disadvantaged has dropped off Canada’s to-do list… a commitment that made countries all over the world look up to us and respect us. How far we’ve fallen in a few short years!
8 Feb, 2010 | By Susan | This is not a very well developed idea, but I would like to see somewhere in Canada - where when a news item comes out, it is cross-referenced to archives, other related news items, and to procedures in Parliament or government, or even history, if necessary.
17 Dec, 2009 | By Neil | Public servents hold a public trust to protect the public. The public is made up of individuals who each have the right not to be bullied into doing or not doing whatever they want or don't want to do- unless they unreasonably interfere with others.
17 Dec, 2009 | By Alan | Dear Senators
Firstly i'd like to thank you for your exhaustive work on Bill C-15 , the Governments new drug crime bill. A enormous amount of evidence and witnesses provided much food for thought.
10 Dec, 2009 | By Michael | Hello I am a father and a husband with no criminal record or tainted past; I pay all my taxes and live an honest life in Abbotsford B.C. I am upset at how Canada is passing Bill C-15 and saying it is going to help Canada and that Canadians want this bill. Every single person that I have met and asked has stated that this bill is not what Canada wants and myself as a Canadian can honestly say it makes me sick to see our government lie about what the people want...
6 Nov, 2009 | By Deborah | I would think that the start date should be for anyone that had an open EI claim as of January. How can the Tories leave out the people that lost their jobs later last year, they opened a claim but due to severence packages were not able to receive EI until many months later and now they will not receive an extention to their claim, even though they did not receive an ei payment until after this "start" date?
23 Oct, 2009 | By anthony | It is time to streamline our immigration and refugee system. It seems there is an unlimited ability to apply, wait a few years, and if denied there are many avenues of appeal and review. Lets have a fair system for those coming in the front door and not for those of the means to get in the back door abusing the system.
3 Sep, 2009 | By Stella | Mr. Harper, addressing his latest appointments to the Senate said words to the effect that "......these appointments will ensure that our policies will be implemented...."
20 Aug, 2009 | By Andrew | From what I've seen instances of escapisim are rampant right now in North America. People are turning to obsessive intrest in hobbies, compulsive celebrity watching, substance abbuse, over consumption of sports entertainment, ... you name it.
