Who is the Head of Government in Canada?

the Prime Minister
the Governor General
the Premier
the Commissioner

The correct answer is: the Prime Minister

Canada is a parliamentary democracy with a constitutional monarchy. This means that while the Queen is the official head of state, she does not have any political power and instead acts as a symbol of the country. The Prime Minister, who is the leader of the political party with the most seats in parliament, is the head of government. They are responsible for leading the country and making key political decisions. The other options listed, the Governor General, the Premier, and the Commissioner, are all important roles in Canadian government but do not hold the title of Head of Government. The Governor General represents the Queen in Canada and acts as a sort of vice-regal representative. The Premier is the leader of a provincial or territorial government within Canada. The Commissioner is a government official who oversees specific government agencies or departments. None of these roles hold the same level of power and responsibility as the Prime Minister, making option A the most accurate choice.
