Federal/Provincial Relations
Canada is a federation. This means that the country as a sovereign state is characterized by a union of self-governing provinces united by a federal (central) government. Canada's many provinces and territories are thus co-sovereign.
Federal-provincial relations are a major reoccurring issue in Canadian politics, which became especially salient with Quebec's desire for sovereignty.
