Corporations are all ultimately owned by people, whether it's via their RRSPs, pension funds, CPP fund, or direct investments.
And even today a Citizen of Canada needs to be 30 and own real estate to be elected to the Senate, which offends me as someone who meets only one of those requirements.
Maybe I should protest the Prime Minister not appointing anyone in their 20s to the Senate. It would help with the youth employment numbers too.
