Saskatchewan Premier Wall No Longer Believes Senate Can Be Reformed
On this site, I give credit where credit is due.
"I think it is time to abolish the Senate. I think it is reflective of what Canadians are saying," "I don't think reform is possible. I think abolition is also difficult, but it is ... more doable than reform. I guess we all had hoped in Western Canada that it might be reformed — that would be the first preference. I just don't think it can be."

All he has to do is introduce a resolution in the Saskatchewan Legislature that the relevant clauses of the Constitution Act, 1867 be deleted. That will start the process.

The key is getting a process started. I totally agree. If a Province in the Dominion passes such a resolution, all other provinces must weigh and address the measure. Thanks!

And yet the monarchy remains untouchable.
Also, why on earth are we preserving a document that's obtuse and badly written? We don't even have a complete written constitution act, and the one we imported is one of many documents. Yet we leftists don't like things that are practical, simple and rational.

CORRECTION: ... a completely written constitution . . .
