  • It is my understanding that the Canadian prime minister is the head of the government, while the British monarch is the head of state.

    Pardon my scepticism, but I'm having a little difficulty believing you're more than 160 years old ...

    Queen Elizabeth II (that should also be Kittigate's answer, Canada isn't a republic either).
    John Gorton was Prime Minister in 1969, having succeeded to the leadership the previous year after the disappearance and presumed death by drowning of Harold Holt.
