Culture and Politics Politics is the way in which we organize ourselves and the way we make decisions. When "the people" run the government, it is called a Democracy.

We have 3 levels of government. They are municipal (local), provincial, and federal. Each level is responsible for making decisions about specific topics.


 * Level || *** || Responsibility ||
 * Municipal Government ||  || Fire Service, Police Service ||
 * Provincial Government ||  || Education, Health Care ||
 * Federal Government ||  || Defense, Banking ||
