Answer 1

*Executive branch*

Head of state: Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada (since February 6, 1952).
Representative in Canada: Governor General Michaëlle Jean (since September 27, 2005).
Head of government: Prime Minister Stephen Harper (since February 6, 2006).
Cabinet: Ministers (usually around 30) chosen by the Prime Minister and appointed by the Governor General to lead various ministries and agencies, generally with regional representation. Most, but not all, will be members of the leader's own party in the House of Commons.
Further information: Cabinet of Canada
Elections: The Monarchy is hereditary. The Governor General is appointed by the Monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister for a non-specific term, though it is traditionally approximately five years. Following legislative elections, the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons is automatically designated by the Governor General to become Prime Minister.

*Legislative branch*

The bicameral Parliament consists of the Senate and the House of Commons; by definition, Parliament also includes the monarch. Currently, the Senate has 105 members, who are appointed by the governor general on the advice of the prime minister to serve until age 75. The Senate is frequently described as providing "regional" representation, and this was true, historically. It was created with equal representation from each of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime region. However, it is currently the product of various specific exceptions, additions and compromises, meaning that regional equality is not observed, nor is representation-by-population. The normal number of senators can be exceeded by the Governor-General at the wish of the Prime Minister, as long as the additional Senators are distributed equally with regard to region (up to a total of 8 additional Senators). This power of additional appointment has only been used once, when Prime Minister Brian Mulroney sought to ensure the passage of a national sales tax. The House of Commons currently has 308 members elected by a plurality of popular votes in separate constituencies (ridings) for terms that do not exceed five years. The five-year term has been exceeded once when Prime Minister Robert Borden perceived the need during World War I. The size of the House and apportionment of seats to each Province is revised after every census, based on population changes and is based approximately on representation-by-population.

*Judicial branch*

Supreme Court of Canada, judges are appointed by the governor general on the advice of the Cabinet with parliamentary committee review.
