Canadian Senate

[ice-hesitant.livejournal.com]

Canada's Senators are appointed for life by the Prime Minister. It's a bit like the US Supreme Court, except we have 105 of these appointees. Recently, some very big discrepancies have been discovered in senator expenses.

NDP wants the Senate abolished, Liberals want the Senate regulated, and the ruling Conservatives want the Senate elected (but without amending the Constitution).
