In Canada, the government has three branches: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. The executive branch includes the Queen, the Governor General, and the Prime Minister. The Queen, who is also the Queen of the United Kingdom, is represented by the Governor General in Canada. The Prime Minister is the leader of the country. In the legislative branch, elected representatives make the laws. They work in two places: the House of Commons and the Senate. The people of Canada vote to choose these representatives, which is why it's important for all adults to vote. The judicial branch, made up of Canada's courts, makes sure the laws are fair and are followed. Isn't it amazing to know how the government works in Canada?
