Because it's almost impossible to get provinces to agree to anything. Can you really see the Liberal government in Ontario doing anything to support a Harper initiative? No chance unless they were getting some other concession. If you ask the average person if the Senate needs to be reformed I'm sure the majority would say yes, introduce partisan political parties and it's almost impossible to get a consensus.

Don't even get started with that crap, your Liberals are just as guilty as anyone else. Trudeau appointed hundreds of cronies in his final days to plum positions. Chretien appointed a Liberal to represent Alberta when we had an elected senator in waiting, that was a giant F-you to us.
