Federalism in Canada

Federalism in Canada is a system of government that divides power between a central authority and individual provinces. This means that both the national government and provincial governments have their own responsibilities and can make laws within their jurisdictions. For example, the federal government handles national defense and immigration, while provinces manage education and healthcare. This structure allows for regional diversity and local governance, enabling provinces to address their unique needs while remaining part of the larger Canadian federation. Federalism ensures a balance of power, promoting cooperation and respect between different levels of government.
