Is anybody wondering why Prime Minister Martin appointed 9 new Senators when there are 16 vacant Senate seats?
There are still vacant seats in New Brunswick (1), Prince Edward Island (1), Quebec (3), Manitoba (1), and British Columbia (1) = 7 Senate seats which are still vacant...
Just wondering if anyone else thinks this is a little weird.

16 at once would make it a big story. By only appointing half of them and doing it at the start of the Easter long weekend, the Libs ensure they'll get minimum exposure from it.
By guess is the other 7 get appointed either on the Canada Day long weekend, or on the next big news day to ensure it gets burried.
is that considered 'dithering?'
