I think it works. We see how much it sucks to be in Alberta and have no say in anything.

The American Triple E senate does have the benefit of providing a voice to smaller states and prevents a tyranny of the majority. The problem in the American system is the president is also not elected by direct representation and the senate and president choose the Supreme Court. This means you end up with 2.5 of your 3 seperate levels of government not always following the will of the voters.
The fix is to make the presidency popular vote only or have justices confirmed by the house instead of the senate.
