| | While in Canada the criminal code is federal legislation, US states may make criminal laws, creating differences in everything from gun control measures to capital punishment. | | | In Canada the sub-units are known as provinces and territories; in the United States they are known as states and territories (United States territories include Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and a number of "insular areas" in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean). | | | Canada, starting with the federal election of 2004, has strictly limited political donations by corporations and unions; in particular, corporations and unions may not make donations to registered political parties or to candidates for the leadership of a party, and their maximum contribution to a candidate for member of parliament is limited to $1,000. |
