Justin Trudeau Pushes Senate Reform

Justin Trudeau has made a bold move in removing Liberal senators from the Liberal caucus in order to make them independent and non-partisan. Trudeau is encouraging Stephen Harper to follow suit and do the same with his Conservative senators. It was an election promise of Harper's to reform the sensate to make it non-partisan in the first place. Trudeau is now taking action in doing what Harper promised to do but would not.

This move has gained a great deal of support, even from Conservative-leaning crowds. I think a lot of people are getting tired of the gross corruption and would like to see a return to a more democratic parliament.

I have held the position that the senate should not be scrapped because it, if empowered, could rival questionable bills passed by the House of Commons. This wouldn't allow ominous bills to be so readily passed just because a majority party wanted it to be. No, the senate would instead examine every page and determine for themselves, democratically, if it was right for Canada. This is how the Upper House/Lower House system of Parliament was supposed to work in the first place.
