History will eventually tell whether this was the week when public fatigue with the Canadian Senate passed the point of no return.

British Parliamentary Democracy does not exist in a vacuum:

"Thus we arrive, by our ancient constitutional methods at practical working arrangements which show that Parliamentary democracy can adapt itself to all situations and can go out in all weathers."

Prime Minister Winston Churchill

British House of Commons

8 September 1942

The Australian upper house is elected by proportional representation. It's as if Canadians have no idea what goes on in other jurisdictions, even if they're based on the most successful form of democracy in human hstory, evolved by the British, whatever else you might think of them. Evolution, yes; revolution, no.  The Italians invented cappuccino. There you go.
