Unlike other [[Federation|federal political systems]], Canadian political parties at the federal level are often loosely or not at all connected to parties at the provincial level, despite having similar names and policy positions.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Christian|first1=William|last2=Jansen|first2=Harold|title=Party System|url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/party-system|website=The Canadian Encyclopedia |publisher=Historica Canada|access-date=November 7, 2018|date=December 11, 2015|quote=Although there are often provincial parties with similar names or aims as national political parties, Canadian parties are not generally well-integrated{{nbsp}}... Despite the general lack of formal ties, however, there is often significant overlap between supporters of provincial and national parties of the same name.}}</ref> One exception is the [[New Democratic Party]], which is organizationally integrated with most of its provincial counterparts.
