Confusingly Canada has a mix of both civil and common law, at least in Quebec.

There are other codes in Canada too, even outside of Quebec, like the Criminal Code of Canada.

Right, but that in itself doesn't make it a civil system.

If I recall correctly Quebec separates by private and "public" law, so if you get divorced or break up a company it's one system, if you steal from someone, the other.

Somehow it's all hybridized and works.
