Political parties and politicians in Canada

This is kind of misleading, in that it's a list of current Senators, correct? Is there a plan to add articles about past Senators? -- Zoe

[edit] Seniority?

Is "seniority" really the most effective way to organize this list? Shouldn't it be in either alphabetical order or grouped by caucus? Bearcat 18:38, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

I agree completely. I think it should be done in alphabetical order according to family name.--handisnak 06:12, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Retirement of Senators

How about in future we not remove Senators from this list until they have in fact retired. Senator Ferretti Barth did not retire until today (April 28), but she was removed yesterday despite the fact she was still a sitting Senator until midnight last night. PoliSciMaster 17:32, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
