Best Answer

In Canada, Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition (popularly known as the Official Opposition) is simply the political party which holds the most seats in the House of Commons (or a provincial assembly) next to the dominant party. Usually it is the second-largest party. The Official Opposition may be either a narrowly defined party or a coalition. Currently, the New Democratic Party of Canada forms the official opposition in Canada, for the first time in its history. It has held this status since 2011, when it won a party record 103 seats in the House of Commons - second to the Conservative Party's 166 seats.

Thomas Mulcair is the leader of the official Opposition in the Canadian House of Commons.

Interestingly he is the leader of the NDP. The NDP has it roots in the CCF a protest party from Western Canada. The Conservatives has it's roots in the Reform Party, also a protest party from Western Canada. Both the governing party and the opposition were Western protest parties, a first in Canada.
