The head of state of Canada is Queen Elizabeth II. She is federally represented by the Governor General, who performs ceremonial, constitutional, and state duties on the Queen's behalf. Currently, the Governor General is David Johnston.

The political leader of Canada is the Prime Minister, who is Canada's head of government and chairs the federal Cabinet. As of 2016, the position was held by Justin Trudeau (son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and leader of the Liberal Party). In 2015, he succeeded Stephen Harper of the Conservative Party of Canada.

The Prime Minister is appointed by the Governor General as his or her chief political adviser, but must maintain the confidence of the House of Commons (the democratically elected component of Parliament) in order to govern.
