Senatorial Madness, Canadian Style

Taking a little time off from promoting comics to get just a tad political.

Take a look at what our Prime Minister's trying to push today.

Yeah, our Senate's been a patronage arrangement since almost-forever. So why do I get the feeling that putting an end to it is going to blow up in our nation's collective face, no matter how well-intended?

Opinions, anyone?

A diversion into media concentration for a moment...

This strikes me as a tad disturbing. My apologies to anyone working for or invested in the affected companies who disagrees with me here, but I don't like the idea. General principles of diversity of voices and of the ownership of the means of transmitting the messages of the aforesaid voices comes into play here.
