recently their has been talk of corruption in the canadian senate overspending and not really doing anything, the powers to be would love to see this chamber of governement abolished but does the average canadian realise why its here in the first place and what role it was designed to play.
I believe that senaters in canada have grown fat and enjoy ceasers tit a little too much maybe a reset is in order. Perhaps a way to hold our senators accountable would be a great way to go. They currently get appointed when a vacancy is their by the prime minister of the day. Maybe we should be voting these people in, that seems to be the only way we can hold our politicians accountable. I dont think their is a mountie in the land that is brave enough to levy charges against a politician on breaching our rights so the people must be the ones to hold their feet to the fire so to speak.
now from what i remember in school the senate is a very important institution. in canada the house of commons is filed with our MP(members of parliament) these folks are the ones that are voted in they represent what we call ridings and they are usually held accountable every 2-4 years.
