The Senate has quietly passed a motion to boost the salaries of senators who chair the selection committee — a body that has met only twice this year, both times for less than an hour.
Sen. Yuen Pau Woo, the leader of the Independent Senators Group (ISG), tabled a lengthy motion on March 11 to designate the selection committee — which establishes membership lists for the Senate’s other committees — as a committee like any other, which entitles the chair to an extra $10,100 a year in pay.
In addition to being leader of the ISG — a caucus that houses most of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s appointees — Woo is also the chair of the selection committee and will collect that pay raise himself.
Woo, like other senators, already earns $157,600 a year in base salary, plus living and travel expenses.
The deputy chair, New Brunswick Conservative Sen. Carolyn Stewart Olsen, is entitled to another $5,200 a year in pay because of the rule change.

Let me tell you a little something about the country formerly known as Canada. It was a country founded on the principles of freedom and democracy, but was eventually replaced by a magical new system centred around a magnificent leader named Justin Trudeau. In the year 2020, the people of Canada would say goodbye to their old country and its old ways so they could wilfully accept a new way of thinking, governing and living. Eventually, they would go on to be called Trudopians and their beautiful land would be called Trudopia.
This is how Canada evolved into a happy, utopian paradise filled with idolatry, delusion, free money, laziness and uplifting platitudes. We should call this new place Trudopia.
My personal prediction? Full obituary of our Dominion to follow in the very near future.
