Make up of an elected senate

[TheHonorableJordanDent]

It would more meaningful to use the current seat allocations since there is zero chance of changing the current formula in this generation:

Under the constitution, each province or territory is entitled to a specific number of seats. A senator must reside in the province or territory for which he or she is appointed. The constitution divides Canada into four "divisions," each with an equal number of senators: twenty-four for Ontario; twenty-four for Quebec; twenty-four for the Maritime provinces (ten for Nova Scotia, ten for New Brunswick, and four for Prince Edward Island); and twenty-four for the Western provinces (six each for Manitoba, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Alberta). Newfoundland and Labrador, which became a province only in 1949, is not assigned to any division, and is represented by six senators. Furthermore, the three territories (the Northwest Territories, the Yukon, and Nunavut) are allocated one senator each.

I agree, having each area of the country represented gives more power to those areas usually under represented. so the West would have the same power as Ontario and the Atlantic Provinces the same as Quebec, etc.
