when the liberal govt took office two years ago the first thing they did was fill the vacant senate seats. 3 to western canada and 21 to the east. one of the results was that bc and alberta have 12 seats and quebec has 24. this is in spite of bc and alberta population is larger than quebecs. now down stream green house gas imissons apply to domestic produced oil but not to imported oil. there other issues to but the bottom line is that we have a regional govt not a national govt. this must be addressed.
