Canadian politics
Maple leaf governance
Canadian politics refers to the governmental system and political culture of Canada, a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarchy.
The federal system divides power between Ottawa and the provinces.
Major parties include the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP, and Bloc Québécois.
Distinctive features include Quebec separatism debates, multiculturalism policy, and a political culture often characterized as more centrist than its American neighbor: Canadian politics can seem boring until you understand the Quebec question.
