Educational Resources PARLIAMENT IN THE NEWS Levels of Leadership: Differing Coverage?

In Canada, there are three levels of government – local, provincial/territorial, and national – which are each responsible for making decisions within their jurisdictions.

This division of powers makes Canada a federal system of government.
Each level of government has a leader (Prime Minister, Premier, or Mayor) and individuals and groups that hold the leader accountable (Senators and MPs; Members of Provincial Parliament, MPPs; and Members of the Legislative Assembly, or MLAs, and city councillors).

 Look through news sources for items discussing leaders at the federal, provincial/territorial, and local levels.

 List the leader’s names.

 Compare coverage (type, amount and placement) given to each of these leaders.
 How might the amount of coverage of each leader affect their public support at the various levels of government?
