what this is is a constitutional crisis.
nobody voted for this woman, and her undemocratic exercise of power flies in the face of everything that this country's democratic traditions stand for.
i would call on paula simmons to resign immediately, and for the trudeau government to immediately reverse all of the undemocratic reforms that have led to this disastrous outcome for canadian democracy.
she has not just broken the senate, she has broken her own dignity, and the country's own self-worth. congratulations canada: you're a backwards, despotic country with an unelected ruling class.
bravo.
