Yes, but (and please don't let Canadian conservatives get wind of this), running a Canadian province requires a larger government than running most countries.

Our national parliament (the Colonial Building) and adjacent Prime Minister's Residence (the Government House) weren't big enough. You can see them here:

(The former is being converted into a museum of our history prior to joining this federation - and the latter is now the provincial Lieutenant Governor's Residence.)

Indeed, that building is amazing. Also loving how Alura is turning out.

Here's a photo I took today of Le V. The cladding is quickly going up. (Notice it's almost at the same height now as Complexe Desjardins)
