Answer by Janet: Independent Liberal
All I know is that they have more than two major parties

The three major ones are Conservative,Liberal,and the New Democratic Party

The Liberal is the moderate party

They have MPs,and I forget what the stands for

Whenever there is an election,it’s a vote for the party and it’s leader unlike in America where it’s a vote for the individual

They have a parliamentary system,and I don’t really know what that has to do with England

England has a lot of influence on Canada,but that’s only historically
