		In fact, one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Canadian federation is its marriage of cultural duality with political unity.
		The Canadian federation officially came into being on July 1, 1867, with the union of four provinces: Quebec and Ontario (previously united as the Province of Canada), Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

	Politics of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In a minority government, a party leader is selected to lead the government, however he or she can only do so with the support of other parties.
		Minority government situations in Canada may become somewhat difficult to manage though, as in the past there were only three parties that had a significant number of seats in parliament (fourth parties were at times represented in small numbers), although the third party has changed over time.
		Because the Canadian Conservative party was new, estimates were attempted based on the votes for the old Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and the Canadian Alliance party as the Conservative Party of Canada was a merger of the two parties.

	Canada to Slash Last Remaining Federal Solar Program
		Currently there are no programs at the Canadian federal level that support solar photovoltaic (PV) power, but the one remaining program that supports solar thermal is likely to get the ax under the federal budget released last week.
		The Canadian Parliament is widely expected to pass the budget that will shut down the REDI solar thermal program indefinitely, leaving all policy support for solar energy up to the provinces.
		It is regretable that conservatives in the Canadian Parliament have dissociated themselves with the development of solar energy just at a time when some of the provinces have shown so much interest.
