		The Prime Minister of Canada, the head of the Canadian government, is usually the leader of the political party with the most seats in the Canadian House of Commons.
		Since the Prime Minister is in practice the most powerful member of the Canadian government, he or she is sometimes erroneously referred to as the head of state.
		The function, duties, responsibilities, and powers of the Prime Minister of Canada were established at the time the country was created as an independent nation in 1867 and were modeled upon those of the existing office of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

	Politician and personality nicknaming in Quebec - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A peculiar custom of Quebecers is to give nicknames to their politicians (and some personalities), quite especially their Premiers.
		Mulroney was born and raised in Baie-Comeau, a city in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec.
		A plausible reason for the custom of Quebecers belittling the very leaders they choose may be the complex of the colonized (an inferiority complex of a dominated people) that some thinkers say they harbour.

		The Prime Minister has the support of one of his colleagues in cabinet, the super minister of the Quebec referendum, the present Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, who said: ``We have always said that Quebecers were entitled to have their say on Quebec's future inside or outside Canada.
		Quebecers are becoming increasingly aware that they have no future for them unless they become masters of their own destiny, because they cannot take it any more, as many Canadians are tired of constantly discussing the basic conditions required for Quebec's recognition.
		Quebecers have twice chosen with their hearts and with their heads not to mortgage their future and their children's future when they benefit from economic and political association with Canada and are part of the country with the best quality of life in the world.

		Quebec lies on the border with its giant neighbour to the south and its trade with the rest of the continent is increasing rapidly.
