Reason #7928 why the Senate should be elected

"Despite being suspended from the Senate three years ago, Liberal Sen. Raymond Lavigne has managed to cost the Canadian taxpayer more than $700,000 since 2007, public accounts reveal."
You know, if we had regular senate elections, does anyone think this guy would get elected and waste our money like that?

I sure don't.
