75% of Greens in favour of an Elected Senate

Harris Decima has a new poll and only 10% of Canadians support the Senate as is.
Green Party supporters are the highest group in favour of reforming is. 75% of Green favour electing Senators, 20% favour abolishing the Senate, and only 1 in 20 Greens like appointed Senators.
It is time that the Green Party take the progressive lead on promoting Senate Reform. If we can get a proportional senate, like they have in Australia, we may get a few Greens vetting bills before they become law.
It is probably an easier transition to get a proportional representation in the senate than the house, as the senate is already provincial at-large.
