Does Canada have senators

Answer 1

No. Canada does not have a congress, that's strictly an American form of government. The Canadians are led by a prime minister, who is the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in its parliament. The parliament of Canada consists of the Senate and the House of Commons. The 104 senators are appointed by the 10 provincial governments, and they may serve until they are 75 years old. The 301 members of the House of Commons are elected by the people and serve up to 5 years.

Answer 2

Canada has two Houses of Parliament: the Senate (sometimes referred to as the 'upper' house) and the House of Commons. Senators are appointed, not elected. Some Canadians want Senators to be elected, while others believe that the Senate performs no useful purpose and should be abolished; other (though arguably a minority) believe that the Senate performs its functions properly as it is currently composed and should not be reformed.

Answer 3

The Canadian equivalent of the United States Congress would be the Parliament of Canada.

Parliament is the legislative branch of Canadian government and consists of the Queen (represented by the Governor General), an appointed Upper House (the Senate), and an elected Lower House (the House of Commons). Bills must be passed by both Houses before they are enacted by the Crown.

It should be noted that unlike the United States system, members of the executive branch of government in Canada (i.e., the prime minister and most ministers) are also members of the legislative branch. The prime minister and most ministers have seats in the House of Commons, and are accountable to that elected House for the conduct and performance of the Government.
