Check out some more of my Global Politics videos here! ruclips.net/p/PL-MZyeaK_bhvgZfBQ_AfjizWO27-YzXeB What should I compare next? Let us know in the comments below!
Great video! One thing though - the Canadian Senate can and does initiate their own bills in Parliament. This is by far less common than the HOC initiating bills. In fact, only roughly 10% - 15% of Bills reviewed in Parliament came form the senate. This said, the Senate can and does create bills. However, there are certain types of Bills that can ONLY come from the HOC. The first are any Bills relating to Money (including taxation or the allocation of public funds), the second type of Bill that the Senate cannot create themselves are any Bills that are considered of "constitutional importance." Any Bills that impact governance, or constitutional matter will only originate form the HOC.
Well done. I may have missed this, but the Canadian Governor General, not the Prime Minister, is the Commander-In-Chief of the country's armed forces. Yes it's mainly ceremonial, but in theory it could come in handy if the PM, as Bat Guano might say, tried some preversions 😅
Great video. I think an interesting topic to cover would be the difference between election funding. As a Canadian it's always baffled me how much money has to be raised and spent in America to win certain elections.
Hi Mr.Korczyk! Your vidoes are wonderful and its amazing to see how far your channel has come! I don't know if you remember me, but I was in your social 20-1 class at Dief. How is everything going and where are you teaching now? -Tulsi
Hi Tulsi. Thank you so much for the comment!! It's been a while since that class. I hope you're doing well. I moved away from Alberta but still teaching. :) All the best!
you should compare post apartheid and apartheidSouth africa and as someone whohas studied political science inboth the USAand Canada this was absolutely amazing (My dreamjob is theInternational Criminal court which requires a political science degree 2years ofexperience and knowledge of Arabic Chinese English French Russian and Spanish) my best friend Sabina Carlson gave me this assignment put omar al bashir in prison for the darfur genocide and that requires going tothe International CriminalCourt)
The US Speaker of the House is much more comparable to the Canadian PM, because the Speaker is the third most powerful elected official, and is the leader of the party in power in the House.
I have a middle test about the EU, can you explain it to me "What is the difference between liberalism and realism in the EU's organizational structure, membership rules, and operating principles?" Thank you.
The king is not really in charge in Canada he is really there as a figurehead but doesn't actually hold any real political power and is mostly there out of respect. He does exert some influence with that said respect but doesn't have the power to actually enact policies without the states consent.
What I don’t understand is, if Canada won its “independence” from the UK in 1982, then why does the Monarch still need to aprove Canada’s laws by way of a Governor General? It seems to me, Canada is not an independent country at all.
@@judearcher890 Exactly. The House of Representatives is where the vast majority of legislation starts. It is called the “lower chamber” yet it is the powerhouse of Congress.
The Founding Fathers of the US, on purpose, created a system that was slow to change. We want it that way; at least from the US Conservative perspective; slow and steady creation of laws is better than rash and one-sided.
"majority governments can be won with 35-40% of public support" - is this a mistake or are you saying more than 50% of the seats can be won with only 35-40% of the votes?
Yup. Exactly. Its because of division of the remaining groups being less than the 'majority'. 35 percent only leaves 65 percent so if the next runner up has 34 percent the remaining amount is 31 so the 35 is the 'winner'.
I'm interested in comparisons but apprehensive of the emotions that surface when I hear things that I know aren't true. When I think it through I KNOW it really doesn't matter and it's inconsequential. Why does it bother me? Anyways My fingers are crossed that I don't 🤪 get triggered by this comparison.
It's not the British Crown ffs. The Queen (or King (barf)) is the Queen or King of Canada, completely independent of the fact that they have a part time job as the British Crown too.
We don't have better health care service in Canada. It's a human right here so we have universal care however the biggest downfall is it's not as efficient as American health care. Don't get me wrong, it's cutting edge care provided by great doctors, but not better. American politics are influenced by private dollars coming from people that stand to profit from health care not being single payer. Hopefully you're still reading because this next fact is what I always tell people that blows their mind if they didn't already know. Healthcare in Canada is free, paid by tax dollars. Healthcare in America is not free, but per capita the American government spends more on Healthcare than the Canadian government. Americans are being robbed by the Healthcare system. It's truly a sad situation.
You are right. In America we pay through the nose with high premiums and health costs. It's a big business for government and Big Pharma. They are making a killing off of us. My personal opinion is people are better off taking care of their bodies by eating clean, non GMO, chemical free food. Organic, grass-fed is the way to go. I got off all medications and actually improved my health. Healthcare in America means doling out prescription medication nothing about nutrition. Then more prescriptions for side effects from the already prescribed pharmaceuticals. They vac cinate you and feed you gmo and chemical laden processed food all this will lower your immunity. A pill never cured anybody. But food is medicine. I wish more would realize to this. Take care and God bless!
@@futuresequence.I completely agree with you it is very sad that people who are hurt in an accident that was not their fault and then they go into bankruptcy,same thing with rehab in both countrys where people get hooked in high school/ college and then cannot afford to get off it and they decide to rather spend their money on more drugs. Truly a sad situation that can be fixed pretty easily
The Canadian senate isn't controversial, its a completely antidemocratic joke. Also you should have mentioned the US President's veto can be overruled by a 2/3 majority in the House. Otherwise good vid thanks

Good video TY. What was clear as mud now has a slight steepened tea look.
Haha, I'm glad it helped!
Forgot to mention that if the US President vetoes a law, Congress can override the veto with a 2/3 majority vote, but that hardly ever happens.
really???
This video is exactly what my notes from my social class outline!!!
I hope it helped!

agreed
Love it.
Great job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Really helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome!

Good explanation, it reminded me of the Canadian Studies class I took for a semester in high school.
yep
Excellent!

Wow the Canadian system sounds more complicated compared to the already convoluted U.S. government
In the US, any bill that requires funding or the budget must start in the House of Representatives.
yeah this seems important to note; generally bills start in the house and the senate just requests changes if it has problems with the bill
@@judearcher890 Exactly. The House of Representatives is where the vast majority of legislation starts. It is called the “lower chamber” yet it is the powerhouse of Congress.
Love your channel. Creatings from Ukraine
Thank you! Cheers! Hope you're staying safe!

Why did you skip a president in the images of heads of state?
???
BC and Alberta’s population per senate seat looks fair and equitable to someone I guess…

Have not started the video yet, but I know Canada has a better health care service. So I go for Canada.

Is that why Canadians travel to the US for healthcare?
If you live in one of these countries your screwed
Why do Canada have so many parities? Can that number change in future, like change to 2 or 7?
I actually disagree if you look further into it the Canadian Prime Minister holds way more power than the US president
How do?
How do?
well-educated
The us a a constitutional republic
😅 is there a Canadian equivalent to the first amendment is the freedom of the press
I believe the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has a provision for freedom of expression.

Liberal 🤢
American who doesn't understand American politics tries to explain differences between usa and canadian governments.
