!world@lemmy.world mods once again proving their incapacity to host a space for “world” news.

Terminology citation

Under Canada's Westminster-style parliamentary democracy, the terms government and Government of Canada refer specifically to the prime minister, Cabinet, and other members of the governing party inside the House of Commons, but typically includes the federal public service and federal departments and agencies when used elsewhere.[7] This differs from the United States, where the executive branch is referred to as an administration and the federal government encompasses executive, legislative, and judicial powers, similar to the Canadian Crown.

Emphasis mine. In particular I note that capitalization is not a factor. The fact that Voroxpete didn’t specify “capital G Government” doesn’t make a difference as I originally thought when reading.

PTB + CML (with respect to Canadian politics) on this one I think.

i concur.

fine to be clueless on occasion, i myself have been that way at many points. not fine to be unwilling to do 5 seconds of research before ~~banning~~ removing for misinformation.
