I don't know how one can avoid that problem in terms of who one is to represent as a senator and how one gets elected. I don't see an improvement over province-wide elections, as difficult as they are. I think they help create a larger focus in the Senate. I think we are meant to have community representation in the House of Commons and broader provincial interests represented in the Senate.
My own personal belief is that we should keep elections province-wide, to the extent possible, for senators.
