Apparently you aren't really paying attention if all you see is 'attack ads' and no policy ideas from the other parties.


And if that is all you see, I hope you don't vote.........

So far that is all there have been. Unless you consider dippers & libs tax and spend plans as policy alternatives. Or more like alternatives to policy.

Don't mind if I do. There are problems with the senate to the south. Being elected has never been one of them.

If your proposed new system produces no better outcomes than the current system, why bother changing?

Same question I asked mentalfloss with his proportional representation idea.

You are stating your case from a vacuum. Senate reform has more to it than just an elected senate.

I am suprised that you are asking.

It is probably not the exact reform to be implemented, but look up triple E senate. Elected, equal, effective.

If the proposed system produces no better outcomes than the current system, what's the point in changing?

That the votes themselves are genuine.

This can actually lead to more accountability if campaign promises are broken.

Northern Ontario,
And it's a platform for extremists such as the greenies and others to slow down the process with too much discussion to a point where nothing gets done.....
And if anyone thinks there are too many committees now.......
