However by the late 19th century, the Prime Minister is the leader of the largest party of House of Commons and enjoys greater political power, whereas the monarch acts as Head of State.…

    Canadian Prime Minister

    The Canadian Prime Minister is the head of the Government and has significant powers in deciding how the nation is supposed to work in their stipulated time frame.
