Remember the clarion call for a Triple E Senate?
That's E for Elected, E for Equal number of senators from each province, E for Effective(ly) check and balance the powers of the House of Commons the Prime Minister's Office.
Elected: That seems straightforward enough. Okay, that's doable.
Equal: That seems easy enough as well. I haven't decided that's a good thing or not, but it's clearly doable and easy to understand.
Effective: That's a bit trickier. To wit from the US example reported by Gail Collins in her Op-Ed piece in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/06/opinion/06collins.html .
Interesting reading, and amusingly written.
