The Senate is a zoo, I'm glad they're doing something about that. But changing things electorally....I'm not a fan of.

Non-fixed election dates have worked for 140 years, why change now? Because it suits the Tories? It's not an issue I'm going to get emotional over, but it stinks of "USA". Im surprised Harper didn't set the date to be first Tuesday in November or whatever it is. Next thing you know he'll be switching to the electoral college.
