A Majority government is essentially a dictatorship with just about zero recourse aside from public pressure until the next election comes up? There are almost zero checks and balances in a majority.

That enough of an answer?

EEE senate probably isn't the best answer, but perhaps some regional skewing (I.E. Quebec/Ontario have 10 senators to AB's 5 or w/e) - but they need to be elected with fixed terms.
