Senators Behaving Badly

to "make up your mind" without hearing all the views will likely result in a flawed response. One reached at the taxpayer's expense...
this guy actually gets paid for this job? or is this the janitor?

yay....what?.....he said yay
looooool

Agreed.

Sgt at Arms should eject the crank.

I CAN'T WAIT till Harper gets control of the Senate, then maybe we can finally have a triple E Senate.

Yes, because the US has proven that an elected senate is clearly effective /s

Electing Senators is a horrible idea. If they were elected they would just muddle the process by challenging our MPs. If elected, they would feel like they have the necessary authority to do so. It would also cost Canadians a lot of money, and it would require yet another change to our constitution, costing more time and money that could be better spent elsewhere. I thought conservatives liked to save the country's money and avoid constitutional battles? Now they want to make gov bigger?

Ｉ agree that electing Senate is a horrible idea,

LET'S ABOLISH THE SENATE!!!!

Any body that can function as a brake on a demagogic legislature, yet still responsible to the people albeit on a broader franchise, is an excellent thing.

MPs ought to be challenged, and it ought to be harder for a government to ramrod controversial measures using the party its beholden to. This principle applies to any government, Conservative, Liberal or any other.

Either that or make them accountable to the public by a public vote on each position.
