Abolish the whole thing; we waste far too much money on "the place where politicians go to die".  Frankly, they don't do much and I think we'd work perfectly fine without it.

If we have to have the Senate, either make it elected at the provincial level or allow the provincial legislatures to appoint them à la the United States before whichever amendment it was that made them elected.  The Senate right now is totally retarded; the Prime Minister basically appoints people who will then vote on his party's legislation.

Frank Mahovlich - A former NHL star for the Toronto Maple Leafs

I seriously hope those weren't his only qualifications.  Because otherwise that's pretty bad, and you are taking the Canadian stereotype way too far.

Well, it's reason for Gabu to know who he is.

I don't pay attention to hockey, although this statement will probably only make things worse. Smiley

Is the Canadian Senate work like the UK house of Lords?  Either way it should be elected. 

I don't know how the UK House of Lords works, so you'll have to explain that first.
