Although the Queen is the official head of State in
Canada, the Prime Minister is the real power of government. As both
the head of the executive and legislative branches of government in
the Canadian Parliamentary system, the Prime Minister can set the
agenda and the pace at which it is pursued. He or she also serves as
the public face of the political party they lead and hence becomes
the defacto spokesperson of that party. The Canadian political
timeline is separated by the time in office of the various people
who have served as Prime Minister.
