...in short, it's going to be completely impossible.

Much of the interpretation is reasonable. The court believes that setting term limits and the like represents a change significant enough to require the cooperation of at least seven provinces representing half of the population. Abolishing it entirely would require unanimous support for such a constitutional amendment. And, as Stephane Dion notes in the story above, would fall apart as a result of the provinces all diluting the debate with self-serving changes unrelated to the Senate itself.
What is really interesting to me though is the court's view on elected senators. It basically mooted the entire concept, which I don't really agree with at all. It is hard to see how recommending someone for senator on the basis of a province's wish - including by vote - could be worse than the current model.
Also of note, the Liberals continue to pretend that their senators are independent.
