The Prime Minister of Canada is the leader of the political party that gets elected to the most seats in the House of Commons. They are almost always from Ontario or Quebec. Of the 18 Prime Ministers 12 of them have been from Ontario or Quebec, 4 from the UK, 3 from Nova Scotia and 1 from New Brunswick.

Only two Prime Ministers from Western Canada have held the position both for very short periods of time. One for less than 9 months, the other, the only woman, even less than that and she never opened parliament.
