The prime minister of Canada is the head of government in Canada. The prime minister is the person who chooses the cabinet and runs it. Most prime ministers have been members of either house at some point in their careers, but they do not need to be currently sitting in either house when he or she becomes prime minister. The office was created by Canada’s first Prime Minister Sir John A Macdonald in 1867 and since then there have been 28 different people who have held this job over time. Here are all of them listed out with their years as PMs for you!
