@Paulatics@mstdn.ca Well said, including calling out racism. Here’s hoping Senators, as you say, prove their value to democracy, when the House of Commons is doing such a bad job of it.

@Paulatics@mstdn.ca I agree that too many Canadians seem ignorant of the role of the Senate. It certainly could, and probably should, be improved. #Alberta complains about being ignored by the East but apparently wants to throw out the legislative body designed to give increased representation to less populated regions. That seems rather silly. At least we got good results on the separation question and the federal programs question. I'm disappointed in the results on the other #referendum questions.

@Paulatics@mstdn.ca Somehow balancing senators to capita would likely extinguish the anti-senate movement in Canada's ever-agitated Province of Alberta.

@Paulatics@mstdn.ca I would like Danielle Smith to explain how the existence of the #Senate has damaged Alberta, and how that damaged would have been avoided without a senate.
