CBC reported this week that Trudeau, before he leaves office on March 9, wants to fill the 10 vacant positions in the Senate. During his time in office, Trudeau has appointed 90 of the 105-seat chamber. (During his nine years in office, Stephen Harper appointed 59 senators.)

Stacking the Senate with partisan appointments is one way Trudeau can leave a legacy of pain for the Conservatives. An upper chamber hostile to a Conservative government has the means to be a large legislative thorn in its side.

And indeed, Trudeau will leave behind him a Senate steeped in Liberal partisanship and patronage — the very evils he promised to end eleven years ago.

In fact, it’s the exact opposite of his commitment to voters in 2014
