I laughed so hard at this 😂 it gets better as it goes…

The first one got taken down for ‘harmful speech’…I have no idea why.

So I’m trying again :)

The Senate Finally Found the Bottom of the Barrel... Then Grabbed a Shovel.

Senator Charles Adler, and to every member of the Senate of Canada... I have to admit, I genuinely thought senators were supposed to be better than this. Silly me. Apparently I’ve been carrying around an outdated owner’s manual for public office.

I spent an evening going through Senator Charles Adler’s X feed myself. Not because I was looking for something to be offended by. Social media manufactures enough outrage to keep the internet employed for another century without my help. I looked because the screenshots making the rounds over the past week seemed almost too convenient. I wanted the whole story before opening my mouth.
I wish I could tell you everyone was exaggerating, but alas, they weren’t.

What I found wasn’t one bad afternoon or one regrettable lapse in judgment. It wasn’t a senator having a rough day and hitting “Post” when he should have hit “Delete.” It was a pattern. The names changed, the targets changed and the insults evolved. But the tone? The tone never did. It was almost as though someone had mistaken the Senate’s role of “sober second thought” for “sober second insult.”

On May 29 Senator Adler accused Pierre Poilievre of “sadism” for criticizing the economy. Weeks later he called him “the worst bullshitter on the planet.” Then came Conservative voters, who, according to Senator Adler, are “dumber than a bag of Fritos.” I have to admit, that last one made me pause. Not because it was offensive. I’ve heard far worse in construction yards and school bus garages. It made me pause because this wasn’t coming from an anonymous account with a cartoon profile picture and fourteen followers. It was coming from a senator. Although I will concede, comparing millions of Canadians to snack food must have required at least a brief brainstorming session of the lowest order. Perhaps there was a shortage of cranial bandwidth available that day?

Senator Adler, this really isn’t about whether I agree with your politics. Canadians disagree about politics every day, and that’s exactly how a democracy is supposed to work. It isn’t even about whether I like you personally. It’s about whether the office you accepted still means what Canadians were told it means. Right now, that answer seems about as clear as a government expense report after three rounds of redactions and one filibustered committee meeting.

And to any and every senator who may be reading this, whether you sit with the Liberals, Conservatives, Independents, or whichever alphabet soup of Senate groups currently occupies the chamber, this stopped being about Charles Adler quite a while ago.

Today it’s his social media account.
Tomorrow it could just as easily be yours.
The standard you excuse today becomes the standard that protects you tomorrow. That’s how institutions slowly drift. Not with fireworks. Not with constitutional crises. Just one shrugged shoulder at a time.

But here’s the part I genuinely can’t wrap my head around. If senators aren’t expected to conduct themselves any differently than the average political account on X, then why appoint them at all? Why not elect them like everyone else in Parliament? Why preserve the elaborate fictional facade that the Senate exists because it offers superior judgment and sober reflection if that judgment can’t tell the difference between Parliament’s Upper Chamber and the peanut gallery comments underneath a Facebook post?

Because according to the Senate’s own Ethics and Conflict of Interest Code, senators are expected to uphold “the highest standards of dignity inherent to the position of senator.”

Not respectable standards, not reasonable standards, and not standards that are marginally better than whatever is trending on social media this week either.

The highest.

Where I come from, that means it is resolute. And those are not my words, dear Senators, they’re yours. The Code also requires senators to conduct themselves in a way that doesn’t reflect adversely on either their office or the institution itself. One can only assume that particular section is read during orientation, applauded politely, filed neatly into a binder and then left to gather dust beside every New Year’s resolution ever abandoned by February.

The Senate’s own Ethics Officer made the point even more clearly in 2019. Writing in an unrelated ethics inquiry, Pierre Legault reminded senators that “the minimum standard of conduct tolerated in the community is not necessarily the same standard of behaviour that a senator must adhere to.”

Think about that for a second. The Senate itself acknowledged that senators voluntarily accepted a higher standard than the rest of us. That wasn’t some lofty aspiration, that was the deal.

So here’s where this becomes very simple:

If Senator Adler’s public conduct meets that standard, then say so. Defend it, or at least stand behind it. Tell Canadians that repeatedly calling political opponents “the worst bullshitter on the planet” and dismissing millions of voters as “dumber than a bag of Fritos” is entirely consistent with the highest standards of dignity your institution promises Canadians.

But if it doesn’t...

Then surely the Ethics Code is more than decorative wallpaper? Surely it exists for moments exactly like this? Which brings me to my final question. Not for Senator Adler, but rather, for the Senate of Canada.

You wrote the rules. You promised Canadians that senators would uphold “the highest standards of dignity inherent to the position of senator.” Those weren’t my words. They’re yours. Now Canadians have watched one of your own colleagues test those words in full public view.

So what happens next? Do the standards printed in your rule book actually mean something? Or are they simply there to impress visitors until the first inconvenient test arrives? Canadians deserve an answer as to why we are funding such vulgar content from the Senate

Because if the highest standard of dignity looks like this, perhaps it's time the Senate stopped describing itself as Canada's chamber of sober second thought... and started calling itself what it increasingly resembles: the country's most expensive comment section.

Respectfully... and I use that word in its most optimistic sense...

Melanie

4 Tim Hortons locations in Saint John and Hampton, NB, are seeking food service managers and supervisors at $16.75–$18.25/hr. But sure, they are dedicated to hiring Canadians right? Never believe them.

Share these postings with Canadians who may qualify and cross-post to other communities.

Not safe.

Not effective.

The injured were abandoned by the government that demanded their compliance.

Justice will prevail.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Brilliant.

We need a Canadian version of this series to rebut the left’s decades long campaign to defame and cancel Canada’s proud history.

@LangleyRCMP The problem is that rainbow crosswalks are not, as the Langley RCMP asserts, “a symbol of inclusion, diversity, and community pride.”

They are symbols of ideological conquest, power, and far-left extremism. And I don’t blame those who’ve had it with forced rainbow compliance.

Both leftists and Christians claim to be rooted in love and tolerance.

Dr. David M. Haskell explains the difference, and underlines why Christians frequently draw intense hatred from leftists.

@MarkJCarney No. No bail outs. These condo developers need to lower there prices so the condos will sell.

[Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms @JCCFCanada]

The Justice Centre announces the launch of a national campaign urging Canadians to contact their Members of Parliament in opposition to Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act.

Bill C-34 goes far beyond protecting children from harmful online content and prohibiting AI companies from encouraging users to commit crimes. It implements a social media ban for minors, effectively regulates AI chatbot inputs and outputs, and grants the federal Cabinet broad powers to regulate the internet in the future.

The Justice Centre invites concerned Canadians to participate in this national campaign by using the Justice Centre’s online letter-writing software to send a pre-written letter to their Members of Parliament and to Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Read the full story and send a letter to your Member of Parliament opposing Bill C-34 today:

🚨Queen’s University law professor Bruce Pardy warns: Mark Carney branded peaceful truckers “seditionists” and “terrorists” simply for protesting Trudeau’s mandates — no violence, just honking horns and parking tickets.

Now as Prime Minister, he’s advancing Liberal hate speech laws that will silence dissent and crush the right to protest.

Every Canadian 🇨🇦 should be deeply worried: our free speech is in grave danger. Wake up! #MarkCarneyMustGo
