In a move that could be viewed as self-preservation, certain senators postponed again the passing of a bill that would limit Senate terms to eight years.Stephane Dion supports term limitations for Senators. However, his plan would limit such Senate term limits to 12 years. This position by the Liberal Leader distances the new Liberal Party from certain mostly Liberal Senators who could be seen to be most concerned with their own career security given another bill proposing an elected senate that is on the table. Nevertheless, Dion's Liberals continue to oppose a separate Conservative bill proposing the election of senators.
In a bizarre and kind of ironic move, Stephen Harper intends to appoint his first so-called elected senator, Bert Brown, a Conservative, to replace retiring Liberal Senator Dan Hayes.
So let me get this straight: this is still a partisan move by Harper and it is still an appointment. The only difference is that Brown, a farmer from Kathyrn, Alta., once ploughed the message "Triple-E Senate or Else" into a barley field and was "elected" in a unilateral and un-recognised electoral process that has been taking place in Alberta since 1989. The first elected senator was appointed in 1990 by then-Progressive Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney. Mulroney appointed Stan Waters, the first elected Senate nominee in Canada.
Is this Stephen Harper's latest move to institutionalise conservatism in Canada? By again demonstrating a preference for optics over substance, Harper's government continues to be mostly about tactics and process manipulation. Could anyone tell me where or how this continuing 'dodgy' manoeuvring demonstrates any leadership by the current Prime Minister?

The current senators are exempt.
Self-preservation also has to do with any tinkering with the insitution itself that could lead to the next steps being an elected Senate that would supercede the exemption that is built into this Act. With another Act proposing an elected Senate on the table (coupled with Harper's appointment of an "elected" Senator today), any changes could threaten those who are currently very secure.
Fair point. I simply read it as if they were protecting their current jobs.
I do wish they would work to ammend it though. The 8 years is an obvious ploy, designed to enable stacking.
I don't know what the right limit is, but it seems to be going from the extreme to the ridiculous as it stands now.
Thanks. I can see how it could be read that way. And, I think your stacking point is very valid. Flippant modifications to the Act based on linear negotations and clashing ideologies is a dangerous way to reform such an insitution, but that's just me.
No, it's not just you. There are many (myself included) opposed to the approach Harper is taking to supposedly "reform" the Senate. This tinkering is political in nature and serves no good purpose but to make for a confusing hybrid.
RT. Thanks for the reassurance. This opinion seems to be surfacing slowly. M. Dion spoke about his discomfort too last night during his speech at the LPC Leader's Dinner.

Preservation is a branch of library and information science concerned with maintaining or restoring access to artifacts, documents and records through the study, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of decay and damage.[1]
It should be distinguished from conservation which refers to the treatment and repair of individual items to slow decay or restore them to a usable state.[2] Conservation is occasionally used interchangeably with preservation, particularly outside the professional literature.[3]
