Canadian federal government
The Canadian federal government is the national governing body responsible for managing the country as a whole. It operates under a parliamentary system, with the Prime Minister as the head of government. The government makes laws, sets policies, and oversees national issues like defense, immigration, and trade. It consists of three branches: the Executive (Prime Minister and Cabinet), the Legislative (Parliament with the House of Commons and Senate), and the Judicial (courts). Federal powers are outlined in the Constitution, while provinces manage local affairs, creating a system of shared governance.
