I would like to see a Senate that is elected but the senators for each province would be elected at the time of the Provincial general election. In the event of a vacancy, the by-election would be under Provincial control, not Federal control. That would make it regionally responsive as a counter balance to the rep-by-pop House which is heavily weighted in favour of Ontario and Quebec because of their large populations.
The media discusses the professorial Stephane Dion and is impressed by Harvardian Ignatieff, but persistently underrates the brilliant academic Harper, who appears to be preparing to conduct an upcoming honours seminar in Canadian Constitutional Law for the entire nation.
If anyone can undo the Trudeaupian sabotage of our Canadian institutions, it is Harper, truly a man for our time.
