Stephen for Seborga
Bit late to this, but Progressive Conservative Senator Elaine McCoy has some offered some free counsel to the Prime Minister.
As Prime Minister Harper continues to flog his canard * about the Senate blocking his legislation, one wonders what his true aspirations might be. Zero opposition? Leader for life, even?

Quite an attractive role model, for those inclined to complain about dissenting opinions…

It behooves us to note that according to leading constitutional scholars, Mr. Harper is not in fact a dictator or royal ruler.
