Tom Pitfield, who served on Carney's 2025 campaign team and then became a principal secretary in the Prime Minister's Office, has been named to the upper house.

So a patronage appointment. Great. Brilliant.

all senate appointments are patronage. it's a monument to Canadian political corruption.

Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, and Patrick Brazeau, massive expencse claims...Lynn Beyak, racist, Don Meredith, child rapist.
