∙ 11y agoThe PM is a leader of a political party. Canadians do not vote directly for their PM. The PM gets "elected" by the voters when a party gets elected to more seats in the House of Commons than the other parties. When a party has enough seats to rule the leader of that party becomes the PM in a ceremony that has the Governor General (GG) "appoint" the Prime Minister (PM). Really the GG has no choice as they are just acting out a role that dates back to when Canada was ruled by Britain.
