the president (government) is the executive branch and the difference is the independance of the legislative branch from executive branch (in Canada the leaders of the legislative branch are the leaders of the executive branch so there is confusion between the two branches)

Some similarities and differences between the government of the US and Canada one major difference has to do with the governments responsibility for?

Canada has the Senate and the House of Commons, which is the Legislative branch of goverment; while the US has the Senate and the House of Represenatives. They are basiclly the same thing. They are just called different. The Judiual branch is the same for both countries.The Executive branch has the Queen, the General Governor, the Prime Minister, and the Cabinet. The US has the President, the Cabinet, and the Vice President.AnswerProbably the most important difference between the Canadian and American governments is that Canada follows a parliamentary system while the US follows a presidential one. This means that, in Canada, the executive branch is responsible to the legislature, while in the US, the executive branch is independent of the legislature. In Canada, if the legislature disagrees with what the executive is doing, then, potentially after trying to regain support in the legislature through a general election, the executive has to step down. Because of this, the executive branch is chosen based on the composition of the legislature after a general election. In the US, the President is elected separately, and he and his Cabinet serve their terms until the next presidential election.
