| | Though we say "the Prime Minister appoints the Senate", it may be more accurate to describe the Senate as a political hodgepodge, crafted from the appointments of many different Prime Ministers. | | | The Prime Minister and his flunkies prepare a special speech, which is given to the Governor General (or in rare cases, the Queen) who in turn reads from a special throne in the Senate before the all the MPs, Senators, cabinet ministers, and Supreme Court judges. | | | Canada's Senate was never exactly founded on "noble principles", so it's certainly not an easy institution for politicians to defend. |
