For the first time in our Canadian history, for better or worse, we have a lady Prime Minister. We shall refrain refrain from expressing our own personal personal opinion. However, despite earlier earlier reservations, we do give credit for certain major changes that were long overdue - the elimination of almost almost a dozen cabinet posts. Now, if the same process were to be expanded expanded to do away with a Senate that has long out grown its original usefulness and has become nothing more than a political retirement home for slightly used party hacks at salaries that are out of this world - and growing every day.
