	Canadian Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Senate seats are divided among the provinces in such a way that Ontario, Quebec, the Maritime provinces, and the Western provinces are equally represented.
		The Senate is the upper house of Parliament, whereas the House of Commons is the lower house.
		The Senate was intended to mirror the British House of Lords, in that it was meant to represent the social and economic élite.

	Canadian Senate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Senate of Canada is the upper house of the Parliament of Canada.
		The senate has 105 members who are appointed by the Governor General on advice from the Prime Minister and serve until the age of 75.
		The Senate tends to only exercise its power when the House of Commons is dominated by a rival party, such as the period during the infamous GST debate in the late-1980s to 1990s.

	Leader of the Government in the Senate (Canada) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Leader of the Government in the Senate is a Canadian cabinet minister who leads the government side in the Canadian Senate and is chiefly responsible for promoting and defending the government's program in the Upper House.
		However, it is usually the case that the Leader of the Government in the Senate is the sole senator serving in Cabinet.
		The government side in the Senate is the party that forms the government in the Canadian House of Commons.

	Canadian Senate - FreeEncyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The ability of Senators to represent their regions is muted, however, by the fact that almost all Senators have been appointed by a Prime Minister from either Quebec or Ontario, and are thus are people who usually reflect the central Canadian view, even if they come from one of the regions.
		The Senate tends to only exercise its power when the House of Commons is ruled by a rival party, as occurred during the infamous GST[?] debate in the late 1980s.
		The Senate in the original draft was very powerful, it received veto power over all legislation except for monetary matters that were not ‘fundamental policy changes.’ This would have allowed it to veto important matters such as the GST and Free Trade Agreement, as well as bills concerning culture, immigration, and language among others.

	Filibuster Cartoons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Canada's political founders were all staunch British Loyalists, and thus were not too keen on embracing American-style democracy.
		They imposed a rule on Senate membership that ensured that only those who owned land and property valued at least $4,000 could be appointed, in an attempt to exclude the poor riff-raff from a presence in Canada's upper house.
		Canada's Senate was never exactly founded on "noble principles", so it's certainly not an easy institution for politicians to defend.

	Drug Policy Alliance: Canada
		Although marijuana is technically still illegal in Canada, regulations came into force in 2001 allowing the use of marijuana by people who are suffering from serious illnesses and in 2003 a court ruling forced the government to sell the drug to certified medical marijuana patients making Canada the first country in the world to sell marijuana.
		Canada's justice system has issued other landmark rulings in the area of drug enforcement reflecting the widespread view that drug use should be treated as a public health problem.
		In September 2002, Canada’s Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs released an exhaustive and comprehensive two-year study of public policy related to marijuana found that the drug should be legalized.

	Canadian Senate recommends legalization
		The Senate committee to examine Canada's marijuana laws came about due to the circumstances surrounding the 1996 passage of Canada's current drug law, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CC#06, Welcome to the drug war).
		When Canada's Parliament was hearing testimony on the proposed new drug laws, almost every group that testified before Parliament opposed the law, and asked for the government to do a comprehensive review of Canada's national drug policy.
		Canada's Supreme Court is scheduled to hear constitutional challenges to marijuana prohibition in December.

		Early Canadian cabinets would include several Senators who would be answerable to the Senate for government actions and in the nineteenth century it was not considered unusual for a Senator to be Prime Minister as was the case with Sir John Joseph Caldwell Abbott and Sir Mackenzie Bowell.
		In 1969 the position of Leader of the Government in the Senate became an official cabinet position with the appointment of Paul Joseph James Martin.
		Occasionally Senators may still hold senior cabinet positions in order to ensure regional balance in Cabinet if the governing party is unable to elect members in a particular region or province as was the case of the Progressive Conservatives under Joe Clark in 1979 or the Liberal Party of Canada under Pierre Trudeau in 1980.

	US Senate Resolution Demands Canada End Seal Hunt
		Senator Levin's resolution cited a 2001 study by an independent team of veterinarians as evidence for the resolution.
		Their study found that the seal hunt failed to comply with basic animal welfare standards and that Canadian government regulations with regard to humane killing were neither respected nor enforced.
		The resolution also pointed to the inability of the Canadian government to enforce the quota, citing the fact that many of the seals shot during the hunt escape beneath the ice and die later.

	WashingtonPost.com: Canada Special Report
		In today's Canada, it gives neither the regional balance that reflects the way the country has developed, nor the equal province-by-province apportionment that might be used to protect smaller jurisdictions.
		As is the case with the U.S. Senate, it is ostensibly equal to the lower house, with the power to initiate legislation, amend laws that the other chamber has passed and kill bills it does not like.
		The result is an identity crisis that leaves each senator to decide, one by one, whether to become an activist legislator, a regional defender, a ceremonial figurehead or a business executive with a nice extra income and public pension on the side.

		My own feeling is that Senate reform is no more difficult under the proposed change than it is under the existing formula, in that merely looking at the mathematics, unanimity versus 2/3:50, overlooks entirely, I would argue, the realities of coalition behaviour.
		In the case of Senate seats occupied by the Senators from the territories, there would not be "a province to which the vacancy relates".
		The concept of the "Triple E" Senate involves a Senate that is "elected, equal and effective".

		Though hundreds of foreigners have come to Canada to seek civil ceremonies since gay marriages were first allowed in Ontario and British Columbia in 2003, not all countries or states recognize the unions.

		Appointments to the Senate of Canada should be made by the PM from lists submitted by provincial and territorial governments.
		The problem with this approach is that directly elected Senators would have the legitimacy to exercise the broad powers given to them under the Constitution Act, 1867.
		Some academics argue that giving the Senate nearly equal powers to the House of Commons is incompatible with the principle of responsible government.

		Stuck in an historical time warp, the institution of the Canadian Senate is isolated from every norm of democracy.
		Not only that, if it should arise by quirk of circumstance that non-elected Senators may oppose a proposed government measure, and in the process embarrass the government, the Prime Minister may, of his own volition, enlarge the number of Senators so as to ensure the measure passes.
		Canada is a flexible and dynamic federation capable of adjusting and evolving to meet the changing needs of all its members.
