Canada is a country without an elected Senate. Which Ontario and Quebec have no interest in. Its an eternal wait for one which says a lot about the democratic deficit in Canada. The Liberals have all the power. Its human nature they don't want to share it with anyone else if they don't have to. In the meantime, Western Canada's Senators-Elect cool their heels.

I would rather our Senate went back to being appointed by State Legislatures.

Moreover, Alberta and British Columbia, the most economically vibrant in the next century, are dramatically underrepresented the the appointed Senate. This will ultimately be the undoing of Canada.

Could Democracy Emerge North Of The Border?Doubtful. They had their chance in '76.
And another in '12.
Just look at how they scream and cry about the possibility they might be allowed to pay for decent health care.
