Canadian Prime Ministers

This list is comprised of Canadian Prime Ministers. The position was first created in 1867, when the Dominion of Canada was created from three of the colonies of British North America. Like the British office of the same name, the Canadian office is not codified in the Canadian constitution or law, but merely by political convention.
