List of prime ministers of Canada

This is a list of Prime Ministers of Canada. While there is a long standard tradition of considering John A. Macdonald Canada's first Prime Minister, since he was prime minister after Canadian Confederation, a number of modern scholars, foremost among them John Ralston Saul, argue that Robert Baldwin and Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine are truly Canada's first Prime Ministers. They were the first to govern the Province of Canada (consisting then of only Lower Canada and Upper Canada — modern Quebec and Ontario, respectively) as democratically elected leaders.

Red bordered images in the table denote Liberal Party members while blue denotes Conservatives.
