The head of the
Canadian government is the leader of the
political party with the most seats in the [House of Commons]
?. As Prime Minister one has the right to the title of
Right Honourable. A Prime Minister's elected term is for a maximum of 5 years, however an election can be called at any time. By custom, elections are called 3.5 to 4 years after the previous election, when a [majority government]
? is in power. If a [minority government]
? is in power, a vote of non-confidence
? in the House of Commons may lead to a quick election (9 months in the case of the most recent Canadian minority government, the Clark government of 1979-1980).

To give credit where credit is due, I'm getting information for the stub entries from
http://cnet.unb.ca/achn/pme/index.html . After an article has been fleshed out, the data contained in them has been collected from a large pool of sources (some of which correct data found in at the
University of New Brunswick website, even). I just thought it would be appropiate to indicate the source for the stub articles. --
