provincial politics
Local government affairs
Provincial politics refers to governmental affairs at the province level, particularly in Canada, where provinces have significant legislative autonomy.
The term distinguishes regional governance from federal or municipal matters: She's been covering provincial politics for fifteen years.
Outside Canada, the phrase may simply describe politics in any province or region, sometimes with connotations of being narrow or parochial compared to national affairs.
