Canada and England have quite similar governments. In both cases, Queen Elizabeth II is the ceremonial head of state. Both have a parliamentary government. However, while England has a House of Lords, the analogous institution in Canada is the Senate. Canada has a written constitution, while England has traditions, considered to be an unwritten constitution. Canada and its government are officially bilingual (English/French) while England is not.
Comment
'England' doesn't have a government. England is one of four countries that form the United Kingdom. One of these countries, Wales, IS bilingual (English/Welsh).
