Who was the 13th PrimeMinister of Canada?
117356
This is a list of Prime Ministers of Canada. While there is a long standard tradition of considering John A. Macdonald Canada's first Prime Minister, since he was prime minister after Canadian Confederation, a number of modern scholars, foremost among them John Ralston Saul, argue that Robert Baldwin and Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine are truly Canada's first Prime Ministers. They were the first to govern the Province of Canada (consisting then of only Canada East and Canada West — modern Quebec and Ontario, respectively) as democratically elected leaders.\n\n  # Name Took Office Left Office Elected Party Electoral district \n 1.

If you are talking about the constitutional conventions of Canada, there were three of them: Charlottetown Conference (1864), Quebec Conference (1864), and London Conference (1866).\n\n-----\nCharlottetown Conference\n\nThe Charlottetown Conference was a conference in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island for representatives from the colonies of British North America to discuss Canadian Confederation. The conference took place between September 1-7, 1864.\n\nThe conference was originally planned as a meeting between representatives from the Maritime colonies only: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island although Newfoundland was also invited. Britain encouraged a Maritime Union between these colonies, hoping that they would then become less economically and politically dependent on the Crown, as well as provide for greater economic and military power for the region in light of the ongoing U.S. Civil War. However another colony, the Province of Canada (modern Ontario and Quebec), heard news of the planned conference and asked that the agenda be expanded to discuss a union that would also include them.\n-----\nQuebec Conference of 1864\n\nThe Quebec Conference was the second meeting held in 1864 to discuss Canadian Confederation.\n\nThe delegates from the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island had agreed at the close of the Charlottetown Conference to meet again at Quebec City in October of 1864. Newfoundland also sent two observers, but did not participate directly in the proceedings. In the month between the conferences, the ideas presented at Charlottetown were drafted in the Seventy-Two Resolutions, specific goals to be achieved in the creation of a new country.\n-----\nLondon Conference of 1866\n\nThe London Conference was held in the United Kingdom in December 1866 and was the final in a series of conferences that led to Canadian confederation in 1867. Delegates from the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick met with officials of the British government to draft the British North America Act. A major issue of contention was education with Roman Catholic bishops lobbying for guarantees protecting the separate school system. This was opposed by delegates from the Maritimes, and the compromise reached was Section 93 of the BNA Act, which guaranteed separate school systems in Quebec and Ontario but not in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick.

The Queen is a figurehead.  She exercises no control.  Her representative in Canada is the Governor General, who is appointed by the Prime Minister, who leads the party who won the majority seats in the House of Commons.\n\nWe pick the PM, he picks the Governor General.  We control our country.  We are thus sovereign.  The Queen represents our roots and gives our laws their legality.

The above answer is true, but does not fully answer your question.\n\nIn Canada, the federal Conservative part lead by Stephen Harper just tool power from the Liberals who had been in power for twelve years.

Once when Pierre Elliot Trudeau was to make a speech in the Canadian Parliament he recited Desiderata instead. He was a very brilliant but strange Prime Minister.

Full name: Sir John Alexander Macdonald\nDate of Birth: January 11, 1815 \nPlace of Birth: Glasgow, Scotland \nSpouses: Isabella Clark & Susan Agnes Bernard \nProfession: lawyer \nPolitical Party: Conservative \n\n\nThe Right Honourable Sir John Alexander Macdonald, GCB, QC, PC (January 11, 1815 – June 6, 1891) was the first Prime Minister of Canada from July 1, 1867 – November 5, 1873 and October 17, 1878 – June 6, 1891. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland.\n\nWhile there is some debate over his actual birthdate, January 11 is the official date recorded and January 10 is the day Macdonald celebrated it. His parents, Hugh Macdonald and Helen Shaw, met in Scotland in 1811. After the failure of his father's business ventures, his family immigrated to Canada in 1820 along with thousands of others seeking affordable land and promises of new prosperity.\n\nMacdonald did prosper, becoming a lawyer in 1836 and earning the esteem of many in his defence of American raiders in the Rebellions of 1837. In 1843, at the age of 28, he married his cousin, Isabella Clark (1811 - 1857). They had two children: a son John who died at the age of one, and a second son Hugh John who went on to become premier of the Province of Manitoba. Ten years after the passing of his wife, in 1867, the year of Canadian Confederation, he married Susan Agnes Bernard (1836-1920). They had one daughter, Margaret Mary Theodora Macdonald (1869-1933).\n\n\nPolitical Rise\nIn 1843 Macdonald exhibited his first interest in politics. He was elected as alderman of the City of Kingston, Ontario. The next year he accepted the Conservative party's nomination for a seat in the Legislative Assembly of what was then called the Province of Canada but has since been split into the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Winning the seat easily, Macdonald was now a player in the political scene.\n\nHe gained the recognition of his peers and in 1847 was appointed Receiver General by William Henry Draper's administration. However, Macdonald lost this distinction when Draper's government lost the next election. He left the Conservatives, hoping to build a more moderate and palatable base, leading to the creation, in 1854, of the Liberal-Conservative Party under the leadership of Sir Allan McNab. Within a few years, the Liberal-Conservatives would attract all of the old Conservative base as well as some centrist Reformers. The Liberal-Conservatives came to power in 1854 and under the new administration Macdonald was appointed Attorney-General. In the next election Macdonald continued his rise in politics by becoming Joint Premier of the Province of Canada with Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché of Québec for the years 1856 and 1857.\n\nIn the election of 1858, the Macdonald-Cartier government was defeated and they resigned as Premiers. (Taché had resigned the previous year, with Sir George-Étienne Cartier taking his place). In an interesting piece of politics, the Governor General of Canada asked Cartier to become the senior Premier, only a week after his defeat. Cartier accepted and brought Macdonald into office along with him. This was legal as any member of the cabinet could re-enter the cabinet provided they did so within a month of resigning their previous position. The coalition government was again defeated in 1862. Macdonald then served as the leader of the opposition until the election of 1864, when Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché came out of retirement and joined ranks with Macdonald to form the governing party yet again.\n\n\nFather of Confederation\nAt this point in Macdonald's career, he began to look to the future of politics in his region. He was the leader of arguably the largest British colony in the surrounding area and had the power to help enact agreements to confederate the British colonies. This would be done in an attempt to provide stability to the colonies, which were experiencing frequent government changes, to provide the basis for expansion into the

Is there a specific country you are looking for?\n\nThe Parliament of Canada consists of three components: the Sovereign (la Couronne), the Senate (le Sénat), and the House of Commons (la Chambre des communes). The Sovereign is normally represented by the Governor General, who appoints the 105 members of the Senate on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The 308 members of the House of Commons are directly elected by the people, with each member representing a single electoral district, frequently called a constituency or a "riding" in Canadian English.\n\nIn contrast, there are 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament and the Seventh US Parliament has 100 members of national parliament (MPs) elected on 8/5/2004 through 8/5/2008.\n\nSingapore currently consists of 94 Members of Parliament, whilst the Parliament of Malaysia, based on the Westminster system of Parliament, consists of the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives or literally People's Hall, in Malay) of 219 memebers, and the Dewan Negara (Nation's Hall in Malay; however, it is commonly referred to as the Senate) with a number of 70. Members of the Dewan Rakyat are known as members of Parliament (MPs) while members of the Dewan Negara are called senators.\n\nThe Parliament of India (or Sansad) is bicameral. It is located in New Delhi at Sansad Marg. This is the supreme legislative body of the Republic of India. The Indian Parliament consists of two houses - the Lok Sabha (with 552 members) and the Rajya Sabha (with 250) - and the President of India. Another parliament that is of a bicameral legislature is the Parliament of Egypt. According to the present-day constitution, the Egyptian Parliament comprises of two legislative houses or chambers; the People's Assembly ("Majilis Al-Sha’ab"), a 454-member lower house and the Shura Council ("Majilis Al-Shura"), a 264-member upper house.\n\nFor more information on other parliaments, check out www.wikipedia.com\n\nGood luck.
