Canada is known for our democracy and how important this is to every Canadian. Our system is more specifically known as Parliamentary Democracy. All Ministers of Parliament, including the Prime Minister, are equal; all are elected to represent their constituents. Even though a Prime Minister with a majority government can gather up all the levers of power, the Parliament is ultimately supreme. All of this relates to Canada’s other distinguishing feature—that we are a constitutional monarchy. It is an important political and social feature of everyone’s life, essentially dictating how we live in society. Having the right to vote is something that should be seen as sacred because we are able to shape the future of our country for the betterment of all citizens.
