A looming Senate crisis is history repeating

My column on Loonie Politics this week looks at the announced early departures of two Senators – three shortly after it was published – and how the growing number of vacancies in the Upper Chamber is building a repeat of the problems caused in 2009 when that glut of 18 appointments were made at once, and how it stressed the system. Plus, I got to make reference to a Dame Shirley Bassey song, so that was fun.
