3132...Elect The Senate

You cannot get 69 per cent of Canadians to agree on anything except that we should have an elected Senate.

Tonda Charles in today's Toronto Star also reports that the latest Angus Reid poll on the subject tells that "Sixty-three per cent support a nationwide referendum to decide the future of the Senate. The same number would support eight-year limits for Senate terms, while just 30 per cent would like to see the upper chamber abolished altogether, a number that includes 43 per cent of Quebecers. Many are pessimistic about reform, with 35 per cent convinced there will never be an elected Senate."

Personally I am with the 35 per cent that are convinced that there will never be; Cash For Life is too attractive for both the Tories and the Liberals.
