Giant country in North America: Politics, monarchy, geography: This is how coveted Canada ticks

Canada is a federal state with a parliamentary system, led by a prime minister and a monarch represented by a governor-general. The country's politics are shaped by its history, geography, and relationship with indigenous peoples, as well as its economic ties with the US. Canada and the US have a significant trade relationship, with daily exchanges worth around 3.5 billion Canadian dollars, and the US is a major market for Canadian energy exports.
