I really like this idea, but due to the vast regional differences in Canada, I think it should be PR by Province in the Senate. Senate seats could either be equal across the Provinces, which I don't really like, or just like Parliament, determined by population. Then, the seats for each Province are handed out based on the proportion of votes each party got within that Province.
I don't know how this would affect the numbers of Senators, I can't find an easy breakdown of the proportional vote by province, I'd have to go riding-by-riding and I just can't be bothered to do that at this point.
I have a three-day weekend coming up, maybe I'll do it then.
Probably not though, beer costs $0.50 a pint here in Cambodia and you can hang out poolside at any hotel in the city so long as you're drinking.
