I don’t really mind Harper screwing around in the Senate.

Harper will soon appoint new senators to give the Conservatives a plurality, if not a majority, in the Senate.
The original plan was basically to cap terms as a first step to abolishing the whole thing. Since he couldn’t get that accomplished, Harper said “Fine, y’all can go fuck yourselves” and made a bunch of appointments.
That’s not so much hypocritical as it is highlighting problems by creating those problems yourself.
But Harper could soon have a majority in the Senate. And he could have one in the House, depending on how things go in the next six months. If he gets both, and then doesn’t move on Senate reform, at that point he’d have some serious explaining to do. Though at that point, maybe that means there won’t be enough people caring to demand it.
