I think Aimee was referring to political versus corporate "presidents." But you're right, PM in Canada = US President. And Canadian companies are run by "presidents" - not PMs. Thanks for your comment! Hello!

I think Aimee was referring to political versus corporate “presidents.” But you’re right, PM in Canada = US President. And Canadian companies are run by “presidents” – not PMs.

Thanks for your comment!

One note President does not equal Prime minister. A President is a President. They don't have company Prime Ministers, they have a company president. They say President Obama, not Prime Minister Obama. Their head of State is a PM, a different job. That is really funny, you can see both the Brit and French influence in the language.
