- Support, although could use one or two more pictures. (Getting pretty cocky, eh Emsworth? Not even bothering to explain your case in the description and marking it as a minor edit? Haha!)

- Actually, I have very rarely made comments when nominating, aside from "self nomination" or some such phrase. -- Emsworth 20:09, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Support. Phils 21:42, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Support because what is there is very good. Observations for improvement: 1) I'd really like to see some inline citations, using whatever format you like, Wikipedia:Footnote3, and Template talk:Inote (invisible notes) are good ones. 2) There is still room for significant wikification it seems. 3) The power of the Governor General to "stack the deck" with eight extra Senators seems important enough to note in the lead as an example of the Senate's lack of power, but I'd leave that to your discretion. - Taxman 21:50, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
- I chose not to include that power in the lead, since it is so rarely used, and is rather obscure. (It has only been used once in the past 140 years.) -- Emsworth 22:30, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I think the article should include something about the Senate's role in the dispute over the 1989 Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement. Mwalcoff 07:37, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Support Lorddude 04:37, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC) This looks pretty good.
