Location of the Canadian Parliament buildings. It's downtown Ottawa, Ontario. It's right on the river which is the boarder with Quebec.
It is where Canadian elected "Members of Parliament" debate and appointed "Senate" debate. They all get offices in there, including the Official Office of the Prime Minister, and the Leader of the Official Opposition Office, and the Governor General's Office.
I'd say it is like the US Capital building if you added the oval office to it.

Parliament Hill isn't really in Ottawa -- that's just a model that Walt Disney built to fool tourists and terrorists. The real Parliament of Canada meets at Joe's Bar in Assiniboine, Manitoba.
