No one.  We do not have Presidents (thank God).  The official head of state of Canada is the Governor General (Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean), who represents our Queen, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.\n\nThe Governor General takes the advice of the Prime Minister who is currently Stephen Harper.\n\nTo echo a comment that someone made, we do have a very good system of government here.  It is based on the Parliament system style of government used in the United Kingdom.\n\nThe previous government lost a "vote of confidence", and when this happens we normally hold an election.  This only happened because we had a minority Liberal government.  When the Gomery Report came out, the opposition parties ganged up and voted against the minority government.\n\nIf you have a majority government, you're stuck with the government until at most 5 years.  But we usually have elections every 4 years.\n\nOne thing we normally have more open politics here because of the parliamentary style of government.  The leader of the opposition maintains a fairly good check on the actions of the ruling government.  Our news is mainly revolving around the government and the goings on with politics and not sensational shootings and murder, so we also keep a sharp eye on our politicians.\n\nIf you're interested in learning more about my country and our style of government, please visit http://www.canada.gc.ca/

Canada location is north of the United States of America and is actually a land of vast distances and certainly rich natural resources, although Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while totally retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the well  like US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. \n\nCanada size in population is about 33 million inhabitants that occupies the northern portion of the North American continent, and is the world's second largest country in area. Inhabited for millennia by First Nations (Aboriginal peoples), Canada has evolved from a group of European colonies into a bilingual (English and French), multicultural, federation, having peacefully obtained sovereignty from its last colonial possessor, the United Kingdom. France sent the first large group of settlers in the 17th century, but Canada came to be dominated by the British until the country attained independence in the 20th century. English-speakers make up a majority of Canadians with a significant French-speaking minority concentrated in Quebec and neighboring regions. Substantial immigrant communities have also formed.\n\nCanada's paramount political problem is completely meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; while in favour for separatism seems abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

All I can say about immigration is that since Canada is part of the Commonwealth (i.e. The union of countries that is all that's really left of the British empire) it's easier for Canadians than for most other people.\n\nI dunno if any of the following facts are cool, but here's some more info:\n\n1. The currency of the UK is called Sterling, with the main units being Pounds (worth just over 2 canadian dollars) and Pence (1 hundredth of a pound)\n\n2. Britain is a democracy, somew consider it to be the oldest "Modern" democracy in the world. The basis of the British democracy is a thing called the Magna Carta, which was the first Legal document in England that attempted to limit the powers of the King (essentially giving some of the King's powers to his Nobles) It's also considered one of the most important documents in the history of Democracy, having strongly influenced, among other things, the US consitution.\n\n3. Britain has the 4th largest economy in the world, after Japan, The US and Germany\n\n4. Britain is in fact a union of 4 countries: England, Wales, Scotland and most recently Northern Ireland. They are all ruled from one central government in Westminster, but Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland also have national assemblies, like mini-governments, that handle alot of the governing as well.\n\n5. Britain used to have the largest empire that ever existed, with control over most of North America, India, Australia and a number of colonies and territories scattered everywhere else (including Iraq, New Zealand, various caribean islands and a few big chunks of Africa). The US was lost to the Empire after the US war of independence, the fall of the rest of the empire is largely attributed to the effects of the First World War, in which Britain had lost so many resources it could no longer  hold onto or run its' empire effectively. From this the Empire evolved into the Commonwealth Of Nations (of which, as I mentioned before, Canada is a part)\n\n6. The population of Britain is approximately 60 million people, with the highest proportion by far living in England. Almost a quarter of Britain's population lives either in or in the immediate area of it's capital, London.\n\nHope this helps, good luck :)

Canada recognizes dual citizenship.  Try them.

I'm glad that someone else has realized this.  It's probably for being first a colony dependent upon Great Britain and then even though nominally independent, having to live beside the US.\n\nCanada is SO politically correct that the Supreme court has just authorized 8-0 the wearing of a Kirpan, a ceremonial sword by elementary and high school students.  Canada is so scared of injurying the sensibilities of its large immigrant population that anything goes.  Pretty well any religious practice is accepted in Canada despite secular beliefs.  Another example in Polygamy for a Mormon offshoot in Boutiful BC.  Canadians don't want to insult anyone not white or coming from a country other than Canada or Western Europe.\n\nAny complaint by any white Canadian is quickly shut down by screams of "Racism!!!"

Was that Vic Cavendish, the Governor General of Canada from early in the 20th Century?  I would search for it in Wikipedia or within a Google search.  Bound to be plenty of official photos.

I'm from Canada and I like my leader.\n   He is for family values which the former Liberal government was against.\n   It's like a breath of fresh air having a leader who is for building up the country and not tearing it down.
