If we are going to go to a republican style senate, why not just go all the way with the revolution and declare Canada as a republic.

Honestly, I think the outdated and inefficient parliamentary system should be the major concern. It's expensive, contradictory to national unity, and easily manipulated.

I know... easier said than done. Maybe senate reform is a baby step to that, but it seems kind of pointless to go half way with it considering the proposed reform isn't designed to work with current parliamentary system.
