Well I am glad to know that all this Triple E Senate reform we in the sticks (ie. outside of the Centre of the Universe) have been wanting has been so unnecessary!
1) Stalling or Filibustering is a tactic. Not power. The Senate cannot kill a bill.
2) Mulroney created 8 Senators to kill the GST- Senate filibuster.
So if a PM can snap his fingers and creat and uncreate Senators I am not too sure how you can argue that it has any power!
