TIL that Canada is a federation. Or at least some sort of.

It's also a monarchy, which not that many foreigners know about.

Officially it's a Confederation, but they just used that term when the Dominion was founded mostly to be different from the US.

It's really a federal system though, with a Federal level and a Provincial level of government.

Canada is a federal constitutional monarchy with a Westminster style parliament.
