Canada to become an independent country with its own government. This new nation, which
remained loyal to Britain, was called the Dominion of Canada. At that time, the new
Dominion of Canada had only four provinces (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick). Today, there are 10 provinces and 3 territories. The leader of Canada is called the

LAWS
The Canadian legal system is very similar to the British, the laws are common because the
queen of UK is the head of the Canadian government. Quebec, however, still retains a civil
system for issues of private law (as this domain falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the
provinces), even though Quebec has its own laws it still follows major laws from the federal
government.. Criminal issues are conducted in the style of the British common law, as thisjurisdiction falls exclusively to the federal government.

PEOPLE
Though Canada is next door to the USA, Canadians do not like to be considered Americans for
a number of reasons. Canadians see government and taxation as a necessary way to create an
organized and cohesive society. It means that generally Canadians are a kinder, gentler and
more quite people than their politically powerful neighbor. Without the military and
economic might of 300 million Canadians assume less about themselves and try to be
understanding toward each other just in case they need a hand shoveling out the drvewayafter the latest blizzard.
