Whats so bad about the way it works right now? I don't see the obvious need for us to introduce a bicameral system into what is currently (effectively) a unicameral system. That would revolutionize Canadian politics for the worse (imo), adding another layer of legislative red tape. Seems a lot easier to me just to abolish an already useless/ineffective chunk of bureaucracy and keep things more or less the same as they are now when it comes to the structure of government.
We've pretty much had one House making all the rules for over a century... why do we need to (effectively) add another? Do Canadians genuinely feel like the House of Commons rules the country like a dictatorship with no oversight/checks and balances? News to me I guess...
