That lower house based on population and the upper house based on province is *NOT* equal. In the lower house one voter in Ontario = one voter in BC = one voter in PEI. But not in the upper house. In that upper house Ontario has less proportional representation. So in the lower house, I'm equal. In the upper house I'm less than equal. That's no f'n way to run a democracy!!!! What you really are advocating here is taking the power from the majority of Canadians and giving more power in the hands of the smaller, less populated provinces. So the minority rule the majority.

Is the first past the post and no-free votes in the house of commons make things equal?
No, your point is completely moot, this is already a system which is unfair. Heck, if we had a system like France (proportional seat representation), there would have never been a single Majority gov't for god knows how many years.
EEE senate is a great way to balance the FPP system.
