176 would give it a majority. But yes, because so much of the Conservative vote is in Alberta and Saskatchewan, its vote is very inefficient. That's why even though the Conservatives received more votes in 2021, the Liberals had more seats.

Certainly an open question is how much Trump, with his insane statements and downright hostile policies against our northern neighbor, will unwittingly aid and abet Canada’s Liberals.
It's like the Speaker of the House is also the head of the executive. The upper house in Canada is just a royal relic and a figurehead body.
One thing I like about Parliamentary system is that it doesn't have deadlocks. If you have the leader of a party promise Universal Health Care and he wins a majority in the elections. His policies and mandate will surely be passed. You vote for the legislative to elect the executive there. The Cabinet ministers are also legislators so Bills have a smoother course.
Obviously, it has its own cons and the Presidential system also has its own pros as seen by us.
Since the legislators and the Ministers, including the PM sink and swim together (i.e their fates are tied), you also won't have a Lieberman or Sinema.

No. The Senate is appointed and basically a figurehead.
Ah, thanks for clarifying. So nothing like the bicameral American Congress? Appointed by whom?

By the Governor General at the recommendation of the prime minister.
