  1. @ealboim Yeah, I know. Would have been easier sell when BC/AB had fewer people.
  2. Yup. Right there in black & white: Harper gov supports STV for Senate. RT @MikeMontrealer: Bill c-43 from #parl39 - http://t.co/XRJFIUL
  3. @gregmorrow That's basically what I'm proposing, give or take PEI.
  4. @LibArtsAndMinds It's one thing to have officers of Parliament, like the AG, to offer nonpartisan counsel. But Senators have votes.
  5. @LibArtsAndMinds The Senate has no more democratic legitimacy to provide that "sober second thought" than I do.
  6. @MikeMontrealer Little known fact: Harper gov Senate reform bill proposed they be elected by STV.
  7. @spencerkeys Indeed. He was a crafty bugger, GB. But he stuck us with a house of patronage as result: not just embarrassing, but corrupting.
  8. @SnipJ 140atollah. Twigilante.
  9. @mc79hockey That's what I mean. Trends running against them in HoC, as of about now.
  10. @KyleHarrietha It's going to. Give it time.
  11. @LibArtsAndMinds Unelected senators who can and do wield legislative power are an abomination.
  12. @SnipJ Hall monitor.
  13. @tingdan Nope: 6 to each Atlantic prov, except PEI 3.
  14. @colbycosh Yes.
  15. @mark_r_m Well that's part of the point: to give federal govt more legitimacy. Let Senate, rather than premiers, temper HoC.
  16. @mc79hockey Of course, as pop'n shifts, I predict Quebec will get very interested in Senate reform before long...
  17. @mc79hockey I believe so.
  18. @ahmado I don't think you could ever sell that - not in a Senate with any real power.
  19. @colbycosh Never going to be able to sell equal rep for every prov. Regional equality you could probably sell.
