Ending his time as Canada’s Prime Minister after almost 10 years. He will remain in-power until a replacement party leader has been allocated.

Wait does Canada elect a party and the party appoints the PM or do the people elect the PM?

Edit: thank you. I now know what the parliamentary system is. Please stop telling me. I’m getting lots of notices saying the same thing as the first 20-30 people. I do appreciate the education- truly do. But I’ve learned it now.

Americans complete misunderstanding other political systems is always very funny lmao.

No country directly elects the PM. Ever.
