    Do not throw your trash on the ground.
    When you throw a piece of garbage on the ground you are causing pollution and the people who handle it are the municipal government.

      I agree with you Abe because if you throw your your trash on the ground it blow's away with the wind. And your trash may land in the lake's or the river's.So I agree with Abe that you put your trash the garbage so we can keep our country/city a better place for the plant's and the animal's to live in.

    the health system is taken care of by our provincial government. they collect some taxes and use it to pay the workers and keep it going.

    The municipal goverment has to plow the streets when there is a big snow fall. The municipal has to do that because it is the city's streets and they are in charge of the city.

      I agree with Hannah because in the video "who does what?" at the end scene when there is a list of what levels of government, under Municipal is "snow removal". Also, maybe in some places in canada or ontario there is different weather than other places!!!

    Although health care is usually the responsibility of the provincial government, The federal government provides health care to certain areas of Canada (Inuit and first nation people) and donate medical supplies to hospitals and health clinics. The program that takes care of health issues is called the Canada Health Act.

    The Canadian government does many things, including giving us free medical care if we are a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen. This is called OHIP, short for Ontario Health Insurance Plan and the Provincial Government is responsible for it.

      The Provincial Government (Ontario) provides us with health care that is funded by the money from taxes that Residents and Businesses of Ontaio pay. They give us health care because it is their responsibillity to make sure the citizens of Ontario are healthy and safe.

    something that the government does is manage foreign affairs. The federal level of government is in charge of this. I think this is because when you are dealing with foreign affairs you are representing a country (Canada) and the federal government is in charge of our country (Canada)

    The munisapal goverment takes care of garbage pick up because the garbage is in the city and the city goverment is munisapal. The provincial government is responsible of health and education.The federal goverment takes care of national defense like using weapons to defend the country.

    The T.T.C is run by the municipal government. I think the municipal gov't is in charge of of this because in other cities there are different forms of public transit and ours is called T.T.C which stands for Toronto Transit Commision.

    The level of government that food would fall under is federal. I think would be responsible because they are responsible for what we eat and what fast food restaurants and food stores go up in Canada. For example Church's Chicken on Dufferin ST. came from the united states so Steven Harper had to make the decision if it could open up in Canada.

    The level of government that garbage falls under is Municipal. I think its responsible for it because municipal means in Toronto. For example the garbage man are responsible for remembering to pick up garbage.

    One thing that the provincial and territorial government of Canada is responsible for is education. I think this because the provincial and territorial government is responsible for a whole province (Ontario)or territory. The education of the citizens of that province may be different from the schools in other provinces or territories so the provincial and territorial government is responsible for the education of that province or territory only.

      I disagree with you because the municipal goverment has that responsibility. I know that because in the video "who does what?" it states that transit is not a federal but a municipaal responsibility. You can add on by saying it is the municipal job because the ttc's go around in toronto which makes it a municipal job.

    The military is a federal responsibility because defence is an issue that effects all of Canada. Further more the military consists of people all over Canada which also makes it a federal responsibility.

    The Municipal Government is responsible for Transportation. For example, in the city of Toronto, its is the Toronto Transit Commission. It is their responsibility to make sure the residents of Toronto travel around the city and meet their needs.
