Zuckerberg was stunned in the Senate today as he was hit by angry waves of pain and anguish along with the other billionaires who have profited consistently for over a decade while making minimal responsibility attempts to rein in anything that brought them a profit including even platforms blatantly supporting child porn, sex trafficking, drug sales, anti -law behavior, quack medicine, unproven medical treatments which on investigation are as much snake oil as 19th century con men trolled the Wild West with , and teaching teens how to kill themselves after being bullied online in their platforms. Zuckerberg along with the CEO or Owners of other social media platforms increasingly became aware of the MANY angry people, not a few of whom brought photos if dead children either killed by others who stalked them via these platforms or who committed suicide with these platforms unsupervised, unfixed , irresponsible programming which helps the children learn how to kill themselves or others, even in the case of a gurl...bullied online about her looks , when she queried online seeking Help to get the dark thoughts out of her mind brought by these platforms irresponsible programming instead got multiple SUGGESTIONS on HOW to kill herself! Yet, in the Senate, platform leader after leader refused to commit to even allowing themselves to be sued in Court! Yet, when the angry parents and senators confronted them directly, Zuckerberg actually apologized....yet still nothing was decided in the meeting despite lots of yelling....

The Benefits Of Reforming Our Senate With US Senate As Model by exegesisme US senate plays crucial role in US politics. It equally represents each state, balances and adjusts the mood of people which reflects in US House of Representatives. It deals with much farther concerns and issues related to US benefits in long run, which integrate with the current benefits of US people represented by US House of Representatives. Comparing with US political system, Canadian Senate is near to useless. Although we have the Queen Governor General system in Canada, which somehow plays partial function in Canada similarly to the role of US senate in US, we still need a Senate more similarly with US senate. With a US Senate-like Canadian Senate, the benefits of each province and each territory are represented better in federal level, and some important concerns would be much better dealt through this mechanism than any other present mechanism. The reformed Senate would have many important and powerful committees for researching and understanding Canadian benefits in long strain. And also important, each Senator has the right to run for the Prime Minister directly, which increases the mental function of the position of Prime Minister, which means each senator who has right to run for PM in future, would naturally consider each legislation in the eye of a PM. Canada should admit US political system is more advanced in both political theory and human natural expectation, which has already proved by histories of these two nations. I admit our political system has some advantage which US political system has not. My argument is all in all, today we should have an ambition to unify the advantages of these two political systems for our benefits and the benefits of our offspring in future and far future.

8 Weaknesses Of Federal Political System And Reform By Exegesisme Based on information from http://mapleleafweb.com/features/house-commons-introduction-canadas-premier-legislative-body 1, The Senate with its appointed members is the largest weakness Reformation direction: Senators should be elected, and a strong Senate is in need. 2, The government which is responsible to the elected representatives of the people and must maintain the confidence of the House is the second weakness Reformation direction: the government should be more regular, which means that the government should be changed more expected and more responsible, usually should be changed on term. 3, The representative function of the members of the House who are under acute party discipline is the third weakness Reformation direction: MPs should enjoy considerably more freedom from their parties, the party discipline should be improved to higher levels, because it is out of natural law and case law tradition, weakens the republic ingredients of the political system, and injuries the dignity of these MPs, as the MPs are expected to follow the direction set by their parties' leadership and caucus — even when that direction is in opposition to their views or the demands of their constituents. 4, The critical legislative function, which is weakened and less refined and less qualified and then faraway from the largest benefits of Canadian people in long run, the education system is an vivid example, is the fourth weakness. Reformation direction: refers to 1 and 3, the benefits of Canadian people in short run and in long run should be well represented. 5, The number and distribution of seats in the House absolutely on the population, which disturbs the formation of the root political structure and weakens the political influence on the community of a riding and forgets a riding is a basic organic political body, is the fifth weakness. Reformation direction: allows the population of a riding waves in a range, pay efforts to the growth of the political leadership of a riding in the basic affairs of its community. I suggest to consider the number and distribution of seats in the House on an index which balances such factors as population, area, tradition, future importance and so on. 6, An elector, who has residency somewhere in Canada and not necessarily in the electoral riding in which s/he is seeking election, is the sixth weakness. Reformation direction: an elector should have had residency for at least 5years in the electoral riding before she or he is seeking election there, this condition is key to improve the representative function, and in turn to improve the efficacy of the critical legislative function, and still in turn to promote the benefits of the people in the riding and the benefits of Canadian people as a whole. 7, A Parliament, which too easily ends prior to its five-year limit and is less predictable for the expectation of the people , is the seventh weakness. Reformation direction: the term of a Parliament should be more predictable for the expectation of the people, which is the crucial factor for the people to promote their benefits. 8, Most legislation originating with the government, which weakens the legislative role of both MPs and Senators, is the eighth weakness. Reformation direction: to widen the source of the legislation. In total, Canada's parliamentary system should be into fundamental reformation for improving its efficacy to promote the benefits of Canadian people.

A simple proposition: Since Bill C-290 has been overwhelmingly passed by the democratically elected House of Commons but stalled by the unelected Senate, and since C-290 only seeks to repeal a section of the Criminal Code of Canada and does not seek to add or amend any paragraph to the CCC, therefore, should C-290 be defeated or die on the order paper when Stephen Harper has the Governor General prorogue Parliament later this year, then: - would the Prime Minister be justfied of he were to advise the GG to use the Royal Prerogative of Mercy to extend a general amnesty that would grant unconditional immunity from prosecution to any party that may contravene Paragraph 207(4)b of the CCC, either now or in the future? - and if the GG issued such an amnesty, would that amnesty for all intents and purposes have the same legal effects as Bill C-290? I believe the answer to both questions is yes.
