NO, IT SERVES A USEFUL PURPOSE

Re: Abolish the Senate instead of trying to reform it, Column, Jan. 28

If it weren't for the Senate, Bill C-15 would already be law. That
would mean people would be facing mandatory jail time for growing as
few as one to five marijuana plants. We would need to build more than
a dozen new billion-dollar jails to house all of these gardeners. For
all of its foibles, the Senate is the last thing keeping us from
becoming a full-on dictatorship.
