Go Harper!!

Harper Tories take another stab at Senate reform

"For the fourth time in as many years, the Harper government has introduced legislation to impose eight-year limits on the terms of senators.

A bill introduced in the House of Commons on Monday would limit senators to a single, non-renewable term and would apply to all those appointed since October 2008.

Steven Fletcher, minister of state for democratic reform, says legal experts have assured the government that term limits can be imposed without a constitutional amendment.

But several provinces, including heavyweights Ontario and Quebec, object to the measure, saying the changes require provincial approval."

Not withstanding the fact that I have relatives in Ontario, YOU FOLKS SUCK!! Ontario, especially.
