Premier (Canada)
In Canada, a premier is the head of government of a province or territory. Though the word is merely a synonym for ''prime minister'', it is employed for provincial prime ministers to differentiate them from the Prime Minister of Canada. There are currently 10 provincial premiers and three territorial premiers. These persons are styled ''The Honourable'' only while in office,〔(Styles of address )〕 unless they are admitted to the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, in which case they retain the title even after leaving the premiership.

In a number of provinces, premiers were previously known by the title ''prime minister'', with ''premier'' being an informal term used to apply to all prime ministers, even the Prime Minister of Canada. This practice was eventually phased out to avoid confusing the provincial leaders with the federal prime minister, as well as to indicate the distinct nature of the provincial offices. Officially, the last such case outside Quebec was that of W. A. C. Bennett, who served as Premier of British Columbia and styled himself as ''prime minister'' until leaving office in 1972. The title ''premier'' is not granted by any written law. The formal name of the government position held by the premier is ''President of the Executive Council'' or some similar term, but that formal term is rarely used.
In Canadian French, the head of government of a province or territory is called ''premier ministre'': the French language does not have a synonym for ''prime minister''. In Quebec, this designation is often translated to ''prime minister'' in English. The designation, however, is not exclusive. When they visit Quebec or are described by the Quebec government or many Quebec media, all the other heads of government of the other provinces are also called ''prime minister'' in the English version of the official French texts. The name of the province is always added to avoid confusion.
The terms ''prime minister'' and ''premier'' come from the United Kingdom, where there is only one prime minister/premier. The British prime minister is frequently called ''premier'' to this day; prime ministers of constituent countries in the UK are titled ''first minister''. Collectively, Canada's federal prime minister and the premiers are collectively referred to as ''first ministers'', another synonym of British origin.
