However, you basically described exactly how the judiciary works. The Supreme Court of Canada doesn't have justices that are clearly Conservative, or clearly Liberal, but make their decisions based on the law. R v Bedford was a unanimous decision striking down prostitution laws where 6 of the justices were appointed by Harper and 1 by Mulroney. Also the one that was appointed by Mulroney was made Chief Justice by Chretien. It appears that the judiciary seems to be impartial to political ties, so in theory couldn't the Senate as well?

The Senate is not/will not be made up of people whose careers are made by being just/fair. In fact, senators often made their careers in politics specifically before becoming senators. I just don't see those lines/organization dissolving simply by removing title I guess. Maybe that would change in the distant future, but I'm thing that's many generations away
