What is the Canadian Senate sometimes called?
- The Chamber of Lords
- The Upper House
- The Red Chamber or the Upper House
- The House of Review
Why this is the correct answer
Canada's Senate is officially called the Upper House because of its role above the elected House of Commons in reviewing legislation. Senators also informally call it the Red Chamber because of the red decor that has traditionally distinguished it from the green-furnished House of Commons.
