| | Canada (04/06) |
 | | Canada's importance to the United States is not just a border-state phenomenon: Canada is the leading export market for 39 of the 50 U.S. States, and ranked in the top three for another 8 States. | | | Canada is a constitutional monarchy with a federal system, a parliamentary government, and strong democratic traditions. | | | Canada's parliament consists of an elected House of Commons and an appointed Senate. |

| | Canada |
| | Canada is a federation of ten provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan) and three territories (Northwest Territories, Yukon, and as of April 1, 1999, Nunavut). | | | Quebec held a referendum in May 1980 on whether it should seek independence from Canada; it was defeated by 60% of the voters. | | | Resolving a dispute that had occupied Trudeau since the beginning of his tenure, Queen Elizabeth II signed the Constitution Act (also called the Canada Act) in Ottawa on April 17, 1982, thereby cutting the last legal tie between Canada and Britain. |
