    (the senate, primarily)

    Fair point! In Canada our senate is appointed by the Prime Minister and the position is lifetime. They rarely reject bills from the lower house.

      Wow, I didn’t realize there even was a Canadian senate, I only ever hear about parliament and figured it was all MPs.

        Exactly lol. All commonwealths have an upper and lower house just like the USA. I believe their senates are appointed as well, though I have not verified that.
