∙ 13y agoThe prime minister is the head of Canada's government. He is the leader of the cabinet. =========================================== The Prime Minister is the most powerful person in the Canadian government for a few reasons. First, the Prime Minister is the political leader in the house of commons, usually by virtue of being the leader of the party with the most seats, so the Prime Minister has a large say in what legislation Parliament does and does not pass. Also, the Prime Minister chairs meetings of the Cabinet. This wouldn't make him any more powerful than other ministers, but because the Prime Minister can advise the Governor General on the appointment and dismissal of other ministers, he effectively has control over the Cabinet. The Prime Minister also advises the Governor General on the performance the rest of his of her duties, which gives him control of much of the Governor General's authority as well.

A Prime Minister is an essential part of our parliamentary system, as opposed to the Presidential system followed in the US. The Canadian Head of State is Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, represented by the Governor General, Michelle Jean, who represents the Queen in only a constitutional capacity. The Governor General is appointed by Her Majesty, on the recommendation of Canada's Prime Minister.
In the US, the President is both Head of State and Head of Government.
In Canada, the Prime Minister is the Head of Government. The Prime Minister is the leader of the political party that elects the largest number of seats in a General Election.
Canada's connection with Britain is not just historical. Canada is closely associated with the other countries in the Commonwealth, including Britain.
