Ottawa Senators should be renamed Ottawa MPs

Both Stephen Harper and Tom Mulcair, are talking about abolishing the Senate. If they have their way, there will be no Senate in Ottawa. Canadian Senate, a copy of British House of Lords, does not have any function. The Senate is just an ensemble of political cronies of ruling parties. Occasionally, their activities are political liabilities to political parties. On the other hand, US Senators are elected and they play a major role in US politics. So, Canadian Senate and US Senate are just two different species. Naming a Canadian NHL team in copy of Washington Senator is just the work of a bad copy cat. It is about time we show some originality and name our capital's hockey team in honour of our MPs who do all the heavy lifting of Canadian politics.
