Best Answer

In the United States, citizens vote directly for the President during a Federal Election. The candidate who receives the highest number of the 538 available "electoral votes" (which are apportioned by State), becomes President.

In Canada, citizens vote for local Members of Parliament (equivalent to Congressmen). The party with the most elected representatives out of the 308 seats available becomes the "Government" and its leader (who is also a Member of Parliament) becomes Prime Minister. There are rare constitutional provisions when the winning leader might not become Prime Minister, but this is basically how it works.
