Canada vs. United States - Governments Compared

Canada and the United States have similar systems of government on the surface. They are both representative democracies where people elect leaders to make decisions on their behalf. Canada, however, follows the Westminster Parliamentary system, and the United States is a Republic, with more elected representatives at all levels.
