Is this allowed? This feels really really gross if it is. You shouldn’t just be able to appoint your own staff people to Senate positions.
G&M:
“Two other senior Liberals say there are also active discussions to appoint the Prime Minister’s principal secretary, Tom Pitfield, to the Senate with a mandate to get legislation passed quickly. The Globe is not naming them because they are not authorized to speak publicly about internal party matters”

Oh CBC, your Liberal is showing… on the panel before talking to @… the dismissive tone and hand wringing began in earnest (especially the Toronto Star guy who seems to love the word “royalty”).
Both provincial NDP opposition leaders in Alberta and Saskatchewan have expressed concern on Lewis’s win… but they didn’t mention that Wab Kinew, NDP Premier of Manitoba, and the most popular Premier in the country, was right there on stage.
Canadian politics just got very interesting indeed!

Lester B. Pearson is spinning in his grave as his prime ministerial descendant participates in an effort to delegitimize and destroy the UN.
“a person briefed with the proposal told FT that the Trump administration views the concept "as a potential substitute for the UN... a kind of parallel unofficial body to deal with other conflicts beyond Gaza."”
