I'm actually ok with this. I want an accurate and truly representative Gov. Not one that agrees with me.

Which is a valid argument.

I suspect that if Canada went to some form of PR, we'd see the party system change and fracture as governments became more about coalitions and less about seeking a majority.

Sounds good to me. As long as it's accurate and representative.

I think an unelected Senate appointed by Proportional Representation could work if done right.

To me since the purpose of the Senate is to represent the Provinces/Territories (not the Federal political parties) then the Senators should be allotted on a Proportional Representation basis from a slate of candidates based on the results of the Provincial elections.

For example, Saskatchewan has 6 Senate seats (let's ignore for now any changes to seat numbers to provide equal representation to Provinces or Regions).

That might produce an unreasonable amount of churn, with provincial elections not snapped to a single fixed election date schedule.

Any electoral system has churn.

The question is always whether the juice is worth the squeeze.

Alberta apparently can go it alone but needs a 500 Billion dollar loan, help to establish a military, use another country’s currency etc etc.

Depending of the veracity of the claim, and depending on the intent of the separatists, that is skating really close to treason.

I'd say it's treason, even if it doesn't meet the CC definition.

They are inviting a neighbour to occupy sovereign Canadian soil, before even having discovered whether or not the people of the province want to separate.

It may not meet the letter of the law but....the spirit of the law has been interfered with.

Fck them.
