No, we dont forget that. We are, however, smart enough to recognize that a EEE Senate forms only half the government.
While PEI would have equal representation to Alberta and Ontario in the Senate, they still have only 4 MPs to our 28 and Ontario's 106.
PEI could not possibly dominate government agenda because of the HoC, but Ontario could not dominate government agenda because the Senate. A national agenda becomes far more important than the regional agendas that exist now.
