The piece argues Canada must pursue Senate reform before more elected senators arise. It stresses government accountability to the Commons, strengthens Ottawa’s governing capacity, and upholds Quebec’s duality to avoid Quebec being outnumbered in a stronger Senate.
Ottawa reports on a tense crisis as Quebec's leader makes nonnegotiable demands amid a mythical grenade threat. Passengers weigh risks and a Newfoundland skeptic questions the danger, urging to call the bluff while others fear fatal outcomes.
