The Government of Canada is the Governor General acting on behalf of the Queen (Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada) and on the advice of the federal Cabinet. Canada's current Governor General is David Johnston. The Governor General is apolitical, so in effect, the Cabinet sets the political direction for the country.
The chairman of the Cabinet is called the Prime Minister and is Canada's head of government. Canada's current Prime Minister is Stephen Harper. The Prime Minister is by convention the person most likely to hold the confidence of the House of Commons (the democratically elected component of Parliament), typically the leader of the party with the most members sitting in the House of Commons.
Constitutionally, the Cabinet is a committee of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada (Canada's executive council), which is the appointed body entitled to advise the Queen or the Governor General on the use of executive power. However, aside from the Cabinet, the Privy Council is purely ceremonial, since only the Cabinet can be held accountable to Parliament.
The Governor General acting on the advice of the Queen's Privy Council is a construct referred to as Governor-in-Council (Queen-in-Council when it is the Queen acting on the advice of her Privy Council).
