On The Subject of Canadian Senate Reform/Abolition

NOTE: Senate reform/abolition has popped up at various time throughout the history of Canada, as it has during the Stephen Harper administration over the last few years.

I present to you, an early opinion on such a discussion from early in the 20th Century. It is very interesting and worth a read.
