Wilber, we are a Monarchy. A democratically elected Senate goes against our Canadian form of government. Do you wish us to descend to the level of Americans and their shambolic system?
exactly! When working as intended, that sober second thought role has significant opportunity to review and, as appropriate, improve upon the HOC intended legislation. It was never intended to have the Senate become a partisan impediment!
these 2 guys keep nattering on about democracy... the democratic vote electing/nominating Senators. Of course that's a sham as shown by the Alberta history/results where there exists no
official party attachments towards selecting party aligned candidates to run for election. I emphasize "official" as the Alberta results clearly show an alignment of past elected/nominated candidates with strong/direct attachment to Conservative parties (be that Reform, PC or UCP). This is what member wilber describes as independent and democratic! Again, look no further than the short bio I provided for what is said to be one of the current leading candidates:
=> the one is a former United Conservative Party (UCP) president... now serving as the President of the Conservative Party association in an Edmonton riding & as the Chief Financial Officer of the UCP association in another Edmonton riding. She is also described as a close-ally of Premier Jason Kenney!
