Dear Senators, Which Side Of History Will You Be On?

Attention Members of the Canadian Senate, Fellow Canadians,

  The following is an overview of the ideal role played by the senate in the governance of Canada as it appears on the Government of Canada’s website. :

  ‘The Senate’s fundamental role is to be a complementary legislative body to the elected House of Commons in providing sober second thought. In that role, the Senate acts essentially as a reviewing chamber on proposed bills before they are passed. The Senate has a fundamental role to play as a chamber for the representation of regional interests. The Senate has become an important institution for the representation of minority interests and groups who may be underrepresented in the elected chamber (such as Indigenous peoples, minority language and ethnic groups, and women). In addition, the Senate’s committees play an investigative role in undertaking studies on important social and political issues facing the country, such as poverty, aging, unemployment, land use, and national defense.’

  There is also this summary of the duties of ‘The Senate’. :

  ‘There is a lot of variety in the interesting and demanding duties of a Senator’s job. Typically, a Senator participates in sessions in the Senate Chamber, works on committees, holds business meetings, manages an office and travels regularly to the specific region of Canada the Senator represents.’

  This summary is quite vague for a Canadian institution that costs the Canadian taxpayer close to $150,000,000 per year. Senators are paid $142,400 salary per year with extra payments for those performing added official duties (whips, caucus chairs etc.). As with MPs, senators are entitled to a lifetime pension after six years in the red chamber. Each senator is allowed about $150,000 for research and office expenses. Each senator gets 64 travel points per fiscal year to be “spent” by either the senator or an “alternate” – a “senator’s designated traveller” such as a dependent child (under 21) or under 25 if still in school; an office employee; or a “contractor” chosen by the senator. It’s complicated but, for example, one point is deducted for every return trip from a senator’s home base to Ottawa. Points should not be confused with travel expenses. Senators, their spouses and dependent children (see above) travel free on VIA Rail. Senators may travel in VIA1 (business class) without charge but spouses and dependents pay for upgrades.

  Senators can make up to four trips a year to Washington D.C. or New York City for business reasons, with prior approval. All other international travel requires pre-approval. Other foreign travel as part of Senate or joint parliamentary committees is paid from committee budgets. A senator flies business class but in the event he or she travels with an impecunious parliamentary association and is booked economy, the senator can upgrade at the cost of 0.5 points. The upgrade cost is reimbursed. Senators living 100 kilometres or more outside the National Capital Region can claim up to $22,000 a year living expenses for their time in Ottawa.  Senators who travel to countries where tap water may endanger their health are entitled to claim for bottled water (with receipts).  Senators are reimbursed for membership of Air Canada’s exclusive Maple Leaf club ($665 for worldwide membership).  Travel costs are reimbursed if a senator takes part in political party activities “related to the work of the Senator or Senate.” Travel to and from “purely partisan” political activities is not covered.

  This reads much like the privileged entitlements of top executives of any major fortune 500 corporation. The majority of hard working and tax paying Canadians that support this institution do not have access to these entitlements. Canadians should be able to depend on such a well compensated institution to uphold our  Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

 The ‘Red Chamber’ is intended give the regions of Canada an equal voice in Parliament. The Senate is a controversial institution. It has long been regarded by many Canadians as a place of unfair patronage and privilege. An unresolved debate continues about whether it should be reformed into an elected body accountable to the voters, or abolished.

  If ever The Senate had an opportunity to prove it’s allegiance to either the legacy political process and those that benefit from it, or to the fair governance of the Canadian people, now is the time. Canadians have been forced into the greatest existential crisis in it’s history. The events that are taking place to protest against rampant government overreach and outright tyranny are unprecedented and have brought true Canadians closer together and against uncontrolled government more than at any time in history, even more so than the Canadian spirit that flourished during the horrors of the first and second world wars. It is reprehensible that the current government and it’s heavily sponsored media have tried to make the word ‘FREEDOM’ and the display of the Canadian flag symbols of terrorism. If these are not intentional acts of terror against the Canadian people, there can be none. It is horrifying that the fundamental right to bodily autonomy has been so aggressively attacked. Who are the actual occupying forces of Ottawa? Who are the terrorists entrenched in every province?

  How a minority government of Cultural Marxist Ideologues and World Economic Forum graduates could hijack Canadian Democracy will be an overt mystery to be analyzed by those that survive this great war. It is hard to understand how members of the senate could be, while working out their long term appointments, be wilfully blind to what is ultimately at stake here. Do they expect to outlive current history and their own natural lifespans to continue lives of privilege in some New world Order Utopia? Given the wholehearted support that Canadian governments at all levels have given to mandates and other actions, thinly disguised as public health emergencies, it would seem they too feel themselves immune from dissent and consequences for their actions. Have they been so incentivised or compromised that they too are blind to the pain and suffering caused by their actions?

  Unless those that have sworn an oath to serve the Canadian people and uphold our, albeit inadequate, Charter of Canadian rights and Freedoms act honorably and in good faith, they are complicit in the destruction of Canada and the horrors of war of pain, suffering, and death about to be unleashed on it’s people by organizations and their facilitators who have no interest in Canada as a sovereign nation of sovereign people.

  Canada’s political process is broken by design it seems. The official opposition to the minority government that has launched The emergency Measures is weak at best. Unless the minority government stands down or the opposition stands stronger to end this ‘crisis’, Canada and it’s people will be lost. Even those that promoted the destruction of Canada will also fall victim to their own treason. The terms of the current Liberal minority government leader has been fraught with great controversy that should have ended his appointment earlier but somehow he has escaped consequences. If his approval rating has slipped so badly, why would there still be support for this obviously fraudulent and corrupt agent of the World Economic Forum?

  If The Senate ever had an opportunity to serve Canada and it’s people, IT IS NOW! Think of your legacy to Canada, your own families, and loved ones. Good Canadians may have a bright future long after you are gone.

  If true patriots of Canada in the military, active or retired, and those that serve the various policing institutions do not stand by their oath and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canada and it’s people will fall.  Many other countries throughout the world are also attempting to destroy their nationhood in favour of this New World Order. Let us be an exception. Let us be exceptional.

  Let us wake up and rise up to fight this tyranny as if our lives and futures depend on it.

  They surely do.

  Do right by the people.

  Which side of history will you be on?

Sincerely,

Alfred Neitsch
