However, at the moment Newfoundland & Labrador has one Senator not six. His name is George Baker. My point point being.....Newfoundland & Labrador is well behind the rest of the country in representation as well no representation for a long time. B.C. is not the only Province under represented with Senators. <br />Because Canadian parliamentary democracy increasingly trends towards power concentration in the executive branch – a tendency that has disturbed many observers – it may be time to reconsider the corrective role that could be played by the separation of powers theory in Canadian constitutional doctrine.That is why I asked about O'Leary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-18896728539635841312017-02-28T19:28:18.603-08:002017-02-28T19:28:18.603-08:00...7.3 billion dollars...

We have been badly cheated politically and economically, accompanied by an attitude of arrogance from central Canada, which runs everything, an attitude that I find irritating beyond toleration." Thanks for posting this Mound and your blog applies to the beautiful Province of Newfoundland & Labrador to a tee. By the way.....Newfoundland & Labrador finally have 1 Senator after all these years of taking, taking and taking from Newfoundland since confederation. So B.C., your are not the only Province. I would like to add this government needs to go after all the wealthy people and companies in this country who neglect paying their fair share of taxes through hiding their money. You Mr. Prime Minister know all about it and yet, do nothing to retrieve the 7.3 billion dollars owned to this country in back taxes. That is half this countries deficit. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-6828108676762241932017-02-28T07:14:14.292-08:002017-02-28T07:14:14.292-08:00But Alberta is not in "central Canada" a...But Alberta is not in "central Canada" and those of us in Ontario also oppose both Kinder Morgan and Energy East and for the same reasons.
