Putting The Senate Cork In On Supreme Court Bilingualism?

Funny, every time I turn around it seems we are assisting at the birth of another Conservative senator. Fart and you might have missed it! And they said the Conservative gene poll was losing its potency.

What I wouldn't give to tally the votes of Quebec Conservative Senators when the crunch comes -- or to put it more accurately, when divine inspiration (along with explicit directives) descends from on-high, otherwise known as the PMO.

As Eastwood would say: "Do you feel lucky," Senator?!!! Can you spell political retribution for any brave, roaming upper-class-person? Talk about being between a rock and a hard place for French-speaking senators, especially those hailing from Je me souviens. Indeed.

My friend, Michel Rivard, is about to have the most interesting time since being called to the Red Chamber. Will he be instrumental in fellow Conservatives toeing the line or will he and others break ranks as unequivocal expressions of La nation québécoise?

I know him pretty well (by now) even if we haven't spoken since his appointment with destiny. I think I know which way he'll go. The fun in it all will be seeing whether he's predictable. Stay tuned!
