∙ 15y agoCanada has a federal form of government. Certain areas of jurisdiction are federal, and other areas of jurisdiction are provincial, although there is inevitably some overlap in a federal system. In those areas of jurisdiction that are federal, the federal government can pass laws that apply to the entire country. In the areas that are provincial, each province can pass laws that are applicable to that province. The distribution of legislative powers is contained in sections 91 to 101 of the Constitution Act, 1867, especially in sections 91 and 92. Click the link below for Canada's Constitution.

∙ 14y agoThe laws from the federal government apply in all provinces and territories. For example, the drinking age (19) is the same around Canada. So is the criteria one must meet to be able to vote, or become a citizen.
However, each province has it's own provincial laws, such as the driving age, what speed limits to put on roads, etc. These have to do with their own communities.
Even smaller, there are municipal laws. Laws that only apply to that city or town.
