The reviews are in

The Ottawa Sun:
It was just five years ago when Harper said, “Despite the fine work of many individual senators, the upper house remains a dumping ground for the favoured cronies of the prime minister.”

But that was then and this is now, and Harper seems to have no problem making sure that “dumping ground” is filled with his friends. Among yesterday’s appointees are Harper’s former communications aide, his election campaign chair, and the president of the Conservative Party of Canada.

Harper’s description of the Senate five years ago is no different today — it’s just his friends he’s dumping there now.
