Senatorial Madness, Canadian Style

[dewline]

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?

If you can't have a five-year-old child to point out the obvious flaws in your Grand Plans, use these guys instead?

(Yep, I read the "Evil Overlord" lists. Seems like a good one to keep bookmarked, especially for a poli-sci student or a comics writer or a novelist.)

At any rate, if we have to set up something else in place of the Senate, then this idea of yours seems like a potentially useful one to keep the conniption fits of the nation to a manageable number. And your professorial acquaintance seems to have had a good head on his shoulders the day(s) he made those comments.
