What makes US political parties different than the political parties of other countries?
The American conception of political parties is different than that of other nations since American political parties are incoherent. That is to say that the parties do not have a unified view on all major topics. A Republican in Connecticut is probably more left-wing than a Democrat in Mississippi. Even between the "Connecticutian" Republican and the "Mississippian" Republican, there will be disagreements on key social issues (gay marriage, abortion, etc.) or key economic issues (medicare expansions, tax structures, etc.) This makes every vote in the US a personal vote between two people who are trying to be as close as they can to the center in order to court as many people as possible. In proportional voting systems, parties are coherent and will actually sanction or exile members who espouse an opinion or vote contrary to the party. As a result, a Social Democrat in Berlin and a Social Democrat in Munich will both hold the same positions, even though Munich is a more conservative city than Berlin. It just happens that the Social Democrat in Munich has a much lower chance of being elected. The equivalent of a Social Democrat in the US would not even bother running in Mississippi, since there would not be enough liberal Mississippians to justify it, but if one did, he would hold the same views as one in Connecticut. Because the parties are coherent, you know what you are voting for and each choice is relatively different.

What is Canada most of Democrats or Republicans?
The American political parties of Democrats and Republicans don't fit well into other countries' political systems. That is, the unique nature of American culture and politics makes it very difficult to map American political parties to their equivalents in other countries. In addition, the stated goals of both American political parties is often at radical odds with actual practices and pronouncements from those parties, making the comparison even more difficult - in most other countries, parties tend to stick rather closely to their stated philosophies, as that is their primary means of attracting support in a very pluralistic political party environment.

What is a political party in the US?
THAT is a really good question. In fact the United States Constitution doesn't even mention political parties. For many, at the time to document was written, it was comtemplated that there would be no political parties. But it didn't work out that way. In fact no matter what country you are in political parties seem to be a fact of life. Even in countries who try to maintain only one political party. It is true that we are not aware of parties in North Korea or Cuba, two totalarian states, but I suspect they are there none the less. A political party is an organiztion of people who seek political power to do things of common interest. Great definition, but it breaks down when parties are examined closely. Ususally, it turns out that political parties are coalitions of persons seeking policial power in which the mission of their partners in the coaltion is not wholely objectionable. Therefore they will arrive at a place where they say; "I will vote for you on your issue if you will vote for me on mine." While 'politics makes for strange bedfellows' political parties are made up of persons for whom everyone in the party is acceptable to them on some level.
