but, more seriously, about the senate.
we now have a reality in front of us that is actually kind of a pressing emergency. when most of us weren't paying attention, the trudeau government erected an unaccountable, unrepresentative & unelected layer of government at the top of the pyramid that has the power to completely negate the country's democratic institutions.
canada now has a really big problem on it's hands. and, all of the parties, including liberal backbenchers, should be standing up and making a lot of noise on that point.
it didn't matter when they didn't do anything. but, now that they are meddling in the democratic process, something needs to be done to formally minimize the influence of the senate.
otherwise, we are on a one-way ticket to the kind of fake democracy that exists in iran.
you need to take this seriously.
the sudden emergence of an unelected activist senate is probably the biggest crisis of democracy that the country has ever had to deal with.
