#1 Constitutional Conventions: The Rules We Follow, But Never Wrote Down

Did you know that the role of Prime Minister isn’t even mentioned in Canada’s Constitution? Or that the Governor General technically has the power to refuse laws passed by Parliament? These aren’t written rules—they’re constitutional conventions. In this episode of The Curiosity Journey, we explore what a constitution is, how Canada’s system differs from the United States, and why so much of our government operates on unwritten rules. We’ll break down what conventions are, how they shape Canadian governance, and whether they should be officially written into law. 🎙️Topics Covered:✅ What is a constitution?✅ How Canada’s system differs from the U.S.✅ The role of the Prime Minister, Cabinet, and Governor General—by convention, not law✅ Why conventions exist and whether they should be codified 💬What do you think? Should constitutional conventions be written down or left as they are?
