No the voters had no say whatsoever. This wasn't a referendum. You can spin it all you like but
the fact is the senate acted entirely with in its constitutional right and you wouldn't be saying thing one had it been a con majority senate rejecting the gun registry. You'd be defending them left, right, and centre.
Derby, do you remember your comments when Harper acted entirely within his constitutional right, and appointed senators?
I called him a hypocrite for appointing a massive number of senators over his word not to do just that. In fact everybody attacking Harper said that. I don't think any of us disputed his right to do so.
Boots said it all when he pointed out that most of the Cons who were crying that it was evil when the Libs did it thought it was A-OK when Harper did.
I understand its a reality of our political system and we can't just change it on a whim without opening all kinds of cans O worm. I wouldn't object to a 3E senate but the people crying about it are carrying on as if the senate is a Liberal plot simply because they have been elected so much more often that the senate is a majority of Liberal appointees. At least the Liberals appointed NDP affiliated senators.
