Who is the Premier?

  1. A ceremonial figure at the provincial level

  2. A federal representative in the provinces

  3. Similar to the Prime Minister, but at the provincial level

  4. The head of municipal government

The correct answer is: Similar to the Prime Minister, but at the provincial level

The Premier is the head of government in a Canadian province, elected by the people in a provincial election. This is why option C, "Similar to the Prime Minister, but at the provincial level," is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because - Option A is incorrect because the Premier is not just a ceremonial figure; they have significant powers and responsibilities in the provincial government. - Option B is incorrect because the Premier only represents their provincial government, not the federal government. - Option D is incorrect because the head of municipal government is a mayor, not a Premier.
