They stalled for too long
The Liberals have done everything they could to kill our reforms of the Upper House... and now it's beginning to look like they stalled things once too often, and may have, in their efforts to protect their patronage system, have sealed their own fate.
The Star: "One legislative chamber in Parliament is enough"
CTV: "PM to back NDP call for Senate referendum"
Globe & Mail: "Harper would back referendum on abolishing Senate"
(Ironicly, it's the three more Toronto centric and left leaning news organizations that are leading the charge on this one...)

Just curious - has anybody done a cost analysis on what the taxpayer spends on the Senate each year:
Salaries, expence accounts, staff, travel and "special tours", offices, security, perks, perks, perks and more perks, etc.
Then there are the pensions.

The Star article has the numbers... "For the 2005-06 fiscal year it cost $76,526,904 to run the Senate, a figure roughly equivalent to a sponsorship scandal each year."
