Canada’s style of government is based on the British system, with the national government run as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. Canada also resembles the United States in that the country is divided into 13 provinces and territories, all of whom have their own separate governments with unique powers.
Day-to-day Canadian politics are defined by endless back-and-forth debates between right and left, and similarly heated arguments between the federal and provincial levels of government. There also tends to be a fair deal of debate about the institutions of the Canadian government itself, and whether all the various parts of the Canadian democratic system are really working the way they’re supposed to.
