Question:

What is the leader of canada called?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Canada is a monarchy. The "leader" is therefore, by definition, the Monarch.

Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, is the head of state and repository of executive power. Since the monarch does not reside in Canada, she appoints a governor general to represent her and exercise her powers.

The Prime Minister/Premier is the political Head of Government and is appointed by the governor general acting as the representative of the Monarch. It is the Prime Minister's job to work with the other members of Parliament to enact the legislation called for by the Monarch.
