In Canada Senators only work 56 days a year for an annual salary of $132,300 a year.

Plus they are able to stay in their positions until the age of 75. No fear of being voted out of office. Once they become a senator it is a job for life.

• Yeah, the Senate there is rather like the House of Lords.

• The Senate 'SITS' 56 days a year, but there is more work than just the sessions.

• Wow, they're more fucked up than the U.S. in more ways than one.

• At least they're paid a lot less.
