Who is the prasident of Canada?

Answer 1

Canada does not have a President.

The current (termporary;as long as he hold power) leader of the country, who is called the Prime Minister, is Stephen Harper. However if your referring to the non political long term leader, it is Queen Elizabeth II, who is the Queen of Canada.

Answer 2

Canada is NOT a republic.

It is a Constitutional Monarchy, Queen Elizabeth II, who is the present Canadian monarch, is the Head of State. The PRIME MINISTER of Canada is currently Steven Harper. If you live in the U.S., you could say his job is similair to that of Obama's.

Answer 3

Canada does not have a president, it has a Queen (monarch, head of state), Governor General (viceroy, acting head of state, appointed by the Queen), and a Prime Minister (head of government, political leader).

Both the Queen and Governor General are considered apolitical, and do not engage directly in Canadian politics. Instead, they perform ceremonial and constitutional duties, and act as a safeguard of Canada's parliamentary democracy against potential abuse by the Prime Minister. The Queen of Canada is Queen Elizabeth II, and the Governor General of Canada is currently David Johnston.
The Prime Minister of Canada is the chief political adviser to the Governor General and the Queen, and heads the federal Cabinet, effectively making him or her Canada's political leader. The position of Prime Minister is not directly elected, but rather appointed by the Governor General. Conventionally, he or she is the head of the party (or rarely, coalition) with the most seats in the House of Commons, which forms the Government.

The party of the Prime Minister does not have to have a majority of seats in the House of Commons. Canada's process allows for minority governments wherein the party or coalition which is most likely to command the confidence of the House of Commons, generally the one that is numerically larger, forms Government. This position is dependent on the party maintaining the confidence of the House, as, if it were to lose it, either the opposition would be called upon to form Government, or the Parliament would be dissolved and a general election called.

The present Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, currently finds himself in this position, as he is the leader of a minority Conservative government.
