Time and again I have made the suggestion that the Prime Minister must be removed from the selection process for Senators and that a vetting process be put in place that would investigate, interview and evaluate each appointment.
The selection of Senators for this process would be submitted by the Province they are to represent.
Stephen Harper has shown Canadians that his selection and decision making skills are at best poor and indifferent.
Tory Senator Don Meredith Touts Degrees From Unaccredited Schools
A Conservative senator earmarked as one of the Senate's top spenders holds a master’s degree from a school whose phone number that directs calls to a customer helpline for a website that sells iPads and printers.
Senator Don Meredith, a Toronto-area Pentecostal pastor, has a master's degree in religious studies from California State Christian University (CSCU) – an unaccredited and unregulated private institution that has shifted addresses at least four times within the last ten years.
It’s an academic claim that has caught the attention of the office of the top Tory in the Senate and triggered a request for Meredith to provide details of his credentials, more than three years after his appointment to the red chamber by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Meredith also says he has an honorary doctorate from an association of Christian counsellors that has no standing as a degree-granting school. Since receiving this honorary doctorate, Meredith frequently signs his newsletters and press releases as “The Honourable Dr. Don Meredith”.
