    Our senators have 6 year terms, not 4. It's supposed to add some stability...
    Term limits has nothing to do with this.

    Yes, I was just reminding lars573 that the US senator term length is 6 years. He said, "Like the US"...

    Learn from your commonwealth brothers!

    We were the first nation to have a directly elected elected upper house, and it has done us well for all these years.

    But unlike our commonwealth brothers we have Quebec. Who has (or rather a vocal minority has) the last 2 times we tried to reform our government (which requires a constitution change and a referendum) has hijacked it for their own ends, those ends being an independant state that uses our currency and benefit from all our trade agreements. So all attempts to change the constitution have that hanging over it's head.
