OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper will fill all 18 vacancies in the Senate with Conservative appointees before year's end, sources say.
The decision appears to be at odds with the Tory Leader's promise to only appoint elected senators to the unelected chamber.
But the Conservative move is motivated in part by the worry that the alliance between the Liberals, NDP and Bloc Québécois alliance could topple Mr. Harper's minority in early 2009 and stack the Senate with their own choices, a government official said.

Do you suppose Harper will employ the services of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich? Ebay?

As usual, typical "Hypocrite Harper" ...
