One single country isn’t a great example. Taking a look at both Europe and North America, the countries with parliamentary systems have seen how the growth of their far rights has been far slower than those with presidential systems (USA and France). Canada is also a rare example of a modern, Western parliamentary system where a two party system emerges naturally, as opposed to many opposite examples in Europe.
We have it here in the UK and it’s pretty shitty, closest time out came to working we had a coalition government where the liberal democrats campaigned on leftwing values then helped the Tories get in power and did the opposite of everything they’d promised. We also get strings of prime ministers running the country for a few weeks while they give their friends free money then quit when their actual criminal crimes are discovered so the next etonian can have a turn

Canada has first past the post, comment clearly means parliamentary system with proportional representation based on the text.

Canada has 5 significant federal political parties
Conservatives (right) Liberals (center right) NDP (center left) Bloc Quebecois (regionalist) Green (Environmental)
Only Conservatives and liberals have ever formed government but NDP and Bloq have both formed official opposition and held the balance of power.

It only happens to work a bit because of strong regionalism. I also wouldn’t count the green party as a serious party.
