I see you go to the Anne Coulter school of argument - facts are unimportant as long as you make loud statements. The Senate was Liberal controlled back then and DOES have the power to stall/kill a bill but Mulroney appointed additional Conservatives to support the GST.

I know that it has been done in the past, but it is my firm opinion that a body which is entirly appointed (apparently that could be done through shady methods at that) should not have the ability to block laws which have been accepted via the elected body. What Mulroney did was the right thing, he insured that democracy stayed alive in Canada. Figureheads and figurehead bodies should remain just that, the last thing that is needed is another King - Bing affair.
