Actually, under your system, Ontario and Quebec's combined power would be twice that of the Maritimes.
The problem I have with such a system is that when coupled with the HoC, the ruling party can still ram almost anything through with the support of just two provinces. Ontario and Quebec have the ability to dominate the Commons, and would need just a few extra votes to dominate the Senate. A EEE format would force the governing party to achieve a much broader level of support to have it's legislation succeed.
