OTTAWA_ Prime Minister Stephen Harper has named nine new senators, including some of his Conservative friends.
The decision to name Tory campaign chair Doug Finley and other party insiders to the Upper House was slammed by the Liberals as ``Harpocrisy.''
When he was in opposition, Harper said he would never make patronage appointments to the Senate.
Among the Conservative appointees with close ties to Harper are Carolyn Stewart Olsen, his long-time communications aide, and party president Don Plett.
Finley will represent Ontario, Plett will represent Manitoba, and Stewart Olsen will represent New Brunswick.

If Harper is going to get his Crime bill passed..how? There will not be enough Conservative Senators. He said that is the reason for putting his people in there.
The only way he will get a Majority in the Senate, is to get Majority government and put 8 yeears on the Senate and all the Liberals will have to step down
Perhaps it's time for the Liberals to join the Conservatives on working toward Senate Reform.
