Hey, well at least your senate has some relevance. Ours... Well, they are all appointed by the Prime Minister. And they are appointed until they are 75. They can't propose legislation or stop a bill. They can only slow it down.

Oh, right, and the majority of them spend their winters in Florida laugh .

I call the Canadian Senate the Old Politicians' Retirement Home laugh .

Oh, oh, oh! One more thing I almost forgot. If we wanted to change our Senate, make it more relevant, we'd have to amend our constitution. But... well, we can't even get all of our provinces to sign our current constitution. And there is no mechanism provided in the constitution to change it! wave
