Senator calls journalist a bitch after she reports his poor attendance

Nah, I don't agree with that. I listen to the Conservatives in here and they are very close to our GOP or independents. The liberals in here sound just like the rank and file US liberals and Democrats.

Except maybe on Health Care.

Myself, I could never bring myself to vote for the Republican party in the States due to their social agenda. But I would have a hard time voting Democrat due to fiscal management concerns. I am grateful not to have to make that choice. Although I am not an automatic Conservative vote, I do lean that way up here.

No I think your Conservatives are right in line with the GOP... except on health care. Just my opinion.

Our US liberals and Democrats... they'd probably make most Canadians seem far right.

That depends, our current Conservative party is the result of a merger between two parties- The Progressive Conservatives and the Reform Party, the PC's being the more liberal of the two.

So this Senator isn't even elected?

Forgive me but... who can the people of Canada vote for to represent them?

To represent them...

I'm guessing anybody who isn't from the Conservative or Liberal parties.
