No. Many decisions are made by Cabinet and Paliament, and the various Ministers individually. The Prime Minister, as the political leader, has substantial control over these, especially the Cabinet Ministers, since he selects them and can reassign or dismiss them. However, he doesn't have absolute discretion. He will certainly be heavily involved in the more important decisions.
Some of the most important decisions are made by the Governor General. These aren't policy decisions, but instead, decisions about who gets to form Government when the political situation becomes unstable. However, such circumstances are rare. The Speaker of the House often has to rule on procedural issues in the House of Commons, which can be fairly significant.

In the event that the Canadian Prime Minister dies while in office who is his immediate replacement?
I'd say its the vice-prime minister.** Edit:Canadians don't call it a "vice-prime minister". The Deputy Prime Minister of Canada is a position in the Canadian government.The position, which is not officially mandated by the Constitution of Canada, is actually a relatively weak one in cabinet. When the prime minster is out of the country it is accepted that no major decisions will be made. Without a portfolio or a ministry, the deputy prime minister is far less powerful than individuals such as the finance minister. Because of this the deputy prime minister is often given other cabinet responsibilities.Unlike the Vice-President of the United States, the Deputy Prime Minister does not assume the Prime Minister's office if he dies or resigns. The Governor General assumes the duties until he or she appoints a new Prime Minister in consultation with the Cabinet.Wrong, the Governor-General appoints the Finance Minister to temporarily cease power until a new Prime Minister is elected.
