So in your Candian system your two houses are called House of Commons and Senate? Not the House of Lords? I guess I didn't realize Canada had "Senators" in their Parliament.
The House passes legislation, and then the senate, the house of sober second thought, reviews the legislation. The senate has the option to accept, amend, or reject the legislation. They are usually seen as a rubber stamp for whatever is passed in the Commons.
If I'm discussing an MP, I'll use the term "MP" .
If I'm discussing a senator, I'll use the term "senator".
