    Is the CDN Senate doomed?

    Since the SCC ruled the federal gov. can't change any of the rules about senators... PM Harper stopped appointing senators. The Senate is 22 short now.

    ND say they want to abolish the Senate... they are the other most likely party to have a PM to appoint Senators... It would be interesting to find out what Justin would do!

    Interesting times!

    I like Brad Wall's comment,"If a triple 'E' Senate is impossible then we should get rid of the current triple 'U' Senate. Unelected. Unaccountable. Under investigation."

      I have to admit after talking to non farmers at the lake, I can see value in an elected non partisan senate that can look at parliament's partisan decisions objectively.

      In other words much like young adults asking mom and dad for advice you get what is hoped to be an experienced opinion.

      It should be aimed at keeping Canadians values at the core of Parliament's decisions.

        Bucket, if that's the case at least have an elected body of some sort, no more stacking to push through legislation.

          Bucket, except a big chunk of these "mom and dads" are either in court, suspended, facing prosecution or in jail already.

            I will repeat.

            An elected non partisan senate.

            I don't have a membership to any party and as I think things thru I can usually see both sides.

            Bucket for Senate. That's funny but really not a bad idea.

                  Here is the challenge for AVers and myself.

                  Ask me some questions on canada and where it's going and I will tell you my thoughts.

                  See if you find them realistic.
