Some commenters like the Senate's actions in this instance because they don't like the bill. Fine, but the feisty new Senate is no longer subject to party discipline; no longer subject to the will of the elected body.  There will be other bills that commenters will not like and the feisty Senate will still do as it pleases.  The old Senate, before being liberated by Mr Trudeau, before being released from party discipline, offered sober second thought.  Eventually the Commons could override the Senate's delaying tactics. Now the new Senate is amending bills that that the Commons must accept or the bill doesn't proceed. This is dangerous new territory for an unelected body.  Mr Trudeau, in playing the "Liberator",  didn't think this one through.
