Also I’m not quite sure what an “opposition party” like at 2:14 what’s the difference between “government” and “opposition” does it depend what type of government it is? Like majority or minority?
This is a little bit more nuanced. Opposition is usually those parties who have less seats in Parliament, with the Official opp. tag being given to the party who has the second most seats.
The opposition party can technically be any party other than the majority that is recognized for proceedings in the House of Commons. However, the opposition in Canada generally refers to the second largest party (or largest party, which isn't the government.)
So there is a system called ridings, (They are like the area that you live, like a town, or sometimes a neighbourhood in the city, outside the city, they can be larger.) Basically, representatives run in each ridings, so if I want to be the Prime Minister, I become the Leader of my Party, then I have to have the most MPs elected out of any party to be the Prime Minister, there are 338 MPs in the House of Commons, if I win the most seats of every party, I become Prime Minister. MPs run in different ridings, so if you live in Toronto, and I live in Montreal, we would have different ridings. Therefore we would vote for different people. You can only vote for MPs in your own riding. I’m not sure if that clears things up.
Can someone please explain me? I get that there is 338 constituencies and 338 seats in parliamet but i don't get how the 338 seats in parliament are elected. Does each constituency select only 1 candidate? And if that's so does each party has 338 candidates (1 for each constituency)?
The candidate with the most votes wins the seat in the House. Rules state that only one party member can be on the ballot. Not all parties are on each ballot, Bloq only campaigns in Quebec. Some smaller constituencies have fewer candidates.
In each federal election, the candidate with the most votes wins. Each seat in Parliament is a different riding/electoral district in Canada. Each seat has a different MP from somewhere in Canada.
Wait so Priya is an MP which is different from a party leader? And if that’s correct then I’m confused about the ballot scene at the beginning because I thought that on ballots the name of the party leader appears
Oh please. Tell me why we need 338 MPs, more than the US based on population. And tell me why you get a pension after a few years. Get 2% like the rest of the Public Service and wait till you are 60.
Very good Video! Thank you.
Group of Seven and Tom Thomson paintings at 1:59. Nice one!
We vote the way are party wants. Then who represents your constituents?. No one does
Well if they vote for you you probably belong to a political party so they know what they sta

yes The opposition is the Minority Party and the "Government" is the Majority Party

Because if Priya is on the ballot then at 2:39 should all those members behind the Prime Minister be on the ballot too? ( because they’re MPs right?)

Each riding elects a rep for them. Those candidates are usually selected by that party's riding acoiation(sp?).

No, the party leader name does not appear on the ballots. When you vote, you vote for a representative of the party.
Love and Blessings ❤️
