Well it is past Canada's 147th birthday and I thought it would be time to move on my ideas for fixing - or at least changing - the Senate.

I sent out a message to all the email addresses I could find for the Senators, the Provincial and Territorial Premiers, and the leaders of the Federal Parties.  I expressed in a few points how the Senate could be made more effective as a sober SECOND thought for our federal legislation. 
There is so much that can be debated about the details of how to convert to a new system, and just exactly how the system would take shape.  It is my hope that there will be some posting to this blog so that I can hear what others think.

I was surprised and pleased to hear so quickly from Senator Nancy Ruth who actually read my note.  She is my first responder.  I had thought that these messages would go through channels and it would take at least a week to get any replies. 

If this is your first visit to this blog, please be sure to read my proposals in the post from May 1, 2014.
