The Prime Minister is not directly elected, but appointed as the person most likely to hold the confidence of the democratically elected House of Commons. This typically means the leader of the party with the most members sitting in the House of Commons.

Canada is also a constitutional monarchy, and its head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who is federally represented by her appointed Governor General.
