Stephen Harper is the prime minister and head of the conservative government which is a minority government.The liberal party is the official opposition.There are two other parties,which are the Bloc Quebecois and the New Democratic party.If the three  parties voted together in opposition voted down a motion from the government in power they would knock the government out of power and an election would have to be held.hopefully this could produce a majority government which would hold power for at least four years.Because Canada belongs to a commonwealth there is also the Queen of England and her representative in Canada the Governor General,but these two positions are just symbollic.

Full name: Sir John Alexander Macdonald\nDate of Birth: January 11, 1815 \nPlace of Birth: Glasgow, Scotland \nSpouses: Isabella Clark & Susan Agnes Bernard \nProfession: lawyer \nPolitical Party: Conservative \n\n\nThe Right Honourable Sir John Alexander Macdonald, GCB, QC, PC (January 11, 1815 – June 6, 1891) was the first Prime Minister of Canada from July 1, 1867 – November 5, 1873 and October 17, 1878 – June 6, 1891. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland.\n\nWhile there is some debate over his actual birthdate, January 11 is the official date recorded and January 10 is the day Macdonald celebrated it. His parents, Hugh Macdonald and Helen Shaw, met in Scotland in 1811. After the failure of his father's business ventures, his family immigrated to Canada in 1820 along with thousands of others seeking affordable land and promises of new prosperity.\n\nMacdonald did prosper, becoming a lawyer in 1836 and earning the esteem of many in his defence of American raiders in the Rebellions of 1837. In 1843, at the age of 28, he married his cousin, Isabella Clark (1811 - 1857). They had two children: a son John who died at the age of one, and a second son Hugh John who went on to become premier of the Province of Manitoba. Ten years after the passing of his wife, in 1867, the year of Canadian Confederation, he married Susan Agnes Bernard (1836-1920). They had one daughter, Margaret Mary Theodora Macdonald (1869-1933).\n\n\nPolitical Rise\nIn 1843 Macdonald exhibited his first interest in politics. He was elected as alderman of the City of Kingston, Ontario. The next year he accepted the Conservative party's nomination for a seat in the Legislative Assembly of what was then called the Province of Canada but has since been split into the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Winning the seat easily, Macdonald was now a player in the political scene.\n\nHe gained the recognition of his peers and in 1847 was appointed Receiver General by William Henry Draper's administration. However, Macdonald lost this distinction when Draper's government lost the next election. He left the Conservatives, hoping to build a more moderate and palatable base, leading to the creation, in 1854, of the Liberal-Conservative Party under the leadership of Sir Allan McNab. Within a few years, the Liberal-Conservatives would attract all of the old Conservative base as well as some centrist Reformers. The Liberal-Conservatives came to power in 1854 and under the new administration Macdonald was appointed Attorney-General. In the next election Macdonald continued his rise in politics by becoming Joint Premier of the Province of Canada with Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché of Québec for the years 1856 and 1857.\n\nIn the election of 1858, the Macdonald-Cartier government was defeated and they resigned as Premiers. (Taché had resigned the previous year, with Sir George-Étienne Cartier taking his place). In an interesting piece of politics, the Governor General of Canada asked Cartier to become the senior Premier, only a week after his defeat. Cartier accepted and brought Macdonald into office along with him. This was legal as any member of the cabinet could re-enter the cabinet provided they did so within a month of resigning their previous position. The coalition government was again defeated in 1862. Macdonald then served as the leader of the opposition until the election of 1864, when Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché came out of retirement and joined ranks with Macdonald to form the governing party yet again.\n\n\nFather of Confederation\nAt this point in Macdonald's career, he began to look to the future of politics in his region. He was the leader of arguably the largest British colony in the surrounding area and had the power to help enact agreements to confederate the British colonies. This would be done in an attempt to provide stability to the colonies, which were experiencing frequent government changes, to provide the basis for expansion into the

I think Harper will probably get in, but as the others on this page, I think it will be another minority government.  \n\nI don't think that the Conservatives will ever stand a chance of having a majority government until the Bloc Quebecois stops running.  They seem to take too many votes away from the rest of the federal parties.

Stephen Harper led the Conservative Party to victory and will become our next Prime Minister. The transition will take 2-3 weeks. The Conservatives got 36.3% of the vote and elected 122 Members of Parliament (MPs). The Liberals came second with 30.2% and 103 MPs, then the Bloc with 10.5% (all in Quebec where it took 42.1%) and 51 MPs, and then the NDP with 17.5% and 29 MPs.\n\nThis means Harper will remain Prime Minister only so long as the Liberals and Bloc don't gang up to defeat him. But this is unlikely anytime soon as voters would be angry at them for forcing another early election. Also, the Liberals need to find a new leader and figure out how to pay off a $34 million dollar debt before they can afford another election.

The Queen is the head of state in those countries, yes.\n\nbut it's not "occupation," it's a vague, voluntary (except Quebec) continuation of an embraced institution.
