I don't think an appointed Senate is such a bad thing or anti-democratic any more so than the President of the U.S. being able to appoint people into power.
An appointed senate ensures that there will be some people who are under represented involved in the political process - particularly native and Metis. People who deserve to have a voice in the Canadian political system but can't get elected because of how riding boundaries are drawn.
