For the most part the senate is a rubber stamp body. It’s main purpose is to offer party faithful a plum almost do nothing job. Except in a few provinces the members aren’t elected.

This might be a rare event where it could happen but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Actually, NONE of the Canadian Senators are elected. Last Provincial election, we also voted on a ‘Senator in waiting’. Less than a month later, emperor Trudeau named a long time Liberal hack, a former mayor of Canmore, as Senator.
