Crown Attorneys or Crown Counsel (or, in Alberta, Crown Prosecutors) are the prosecutors in the legal system of Canada.
Crown Attorneys represent the Crown and act as prosecutor in proceedings under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Criminal prosecutions under federal statutes other than the Criminal Code, such as the Controlled Animal and Substances Act, the Income Tax Act, etc., are conducted by Federal Crown Attorneys. There are similarities between this role and the Procurator Fiscal in Scotland, Crown Prosecutor in England and Wales and United States Attorney in the United States. Crown Attorneys are not elected. They are civil servants and can be removed from their position only pursuant to their employment agreements.
Although criminal law is under Federal jurisdiction in Canada, the prosecution of most Criminal Code offences -- outside of the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut -- is delegated to the provincial Attorneys General and their lawful deputies. As a result, the vast majority of Crown Attorneys are employed by Canada's ten provinces.

We got back on Sunday
The house felt so alone
You left to see your girlfriend
And won't be coming home
It's so hard to call you
We've been on the road
I know it's not the life you [want]
But it's the only life I know, yeah
Moments with you, though they are few,
Keep me far from feeling stranded
Moments with you, though they are few,
Keep me far from feeling stranded
Pieces put together
Are ones that come apart
Easily unglue, baby
When the fighting starts
Taking time to miss you
Has become a regular thing
The longer that you're gone, baby
The more the waiting stings
Tell me now
Moments with you, though they are few,
Keep me far from feeling stranded
(Repeat thrice)
These are times we live apart
Loneliness tears at the heart
Sadness is a cure for very few
Well, nights alone cannot replace
The memory of your face
Tell me, darling, what are we gonna do?
You don't know what you mean to me
Don't know what you mean to me
Don't know what you mean to me?
I don't know what you mean
(Repeat thrice)
Moments with you, though they are few,
Keep me far from feeling stranded
