What does each level of government do?

Giraffia doesn't know much about what influence the government has in her life, but that doesn't mean their choices don't impact her.

And by getting involved in politics, I don't mean voting, but merely speaking out and organizing if something seems to be going wrong. Checks-and-balances.

[haroonhabibi]

could you please explain some of the areas where the powers of one level of government can intersect with another. How might this lead to a conflict between different levels of governments?

[dsdmtom]

One add: this is how it goes if everything works fine and governments at all levels actually fulfill their responsibilities. Maybe add a comment about why it is important to get involved in politics to make sure it all keeps working in the best interest of all citizens. Something about efforts wasted through tax money spent inefficiently or on special interests if there is a lack of oversight due to public ignorance or intentional government secrecy.

Which level of government has the power to legalize marijuana? For a school project I am pretending to be the premier of Nova Scotia, I thought that legalizing marijuana here could boost the economy. Would I be able to do that just for Nova Scotia? Or would Mr. Trudeau have to do it?
