Alberta Wants to Scrap the Senate | Canada News

from Canada News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Alberta’s throwing down a bold challenge this October—not just tweaking the Senate, but asking voters if they want it gone entirely. Once the focus was on making the Senate “triple-E” to fix Ottawa’s perceived bias, now the mood has shifted toward abolition. Critics call it undemocratic and wasteful, arguing it doesn’t reflect Albertans’ will. A “yes” vote could trigger a constitutional push with other provinces—but that’s a near-impossible hurdle, requiring unanimous agreement. Legal experts warn it’s a long shot, yet Alberta’s move signals deep frustration and a hunger for real change. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
