I don't think Bordan and Laurier were knighted unti *after* they became PM.
Brown could not have been leader of the opposition since he was never in the federal house of commons being defeated in 1867 in his attempt to win a seat. According to parl.gc.ca he was never an MP.

The article on Alexander Mackenzie says there was no clear leader of the opposition when the Macdonald government fell so why is Mackenzie listed as leader of the opposition in 1873? Formeruser-83 11:18, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I thought the title was Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. - Montrealais -Formally it is "The Leader of Her/His Majesty's Loyal Opposition", but infromally it is just "the leader of the Opposition", or "Opposition Leader" Keeperoftheseal 02:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Image:Can-pol w.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I have moved this page from Leader of the Opposition (Canada) to Leader of the Official Opposition (Canada), for the reason that the lack of the word Official in the article's title implies a bipartisan political landscape, which is not the case in Canada. There are currently three different parties in opposition at present, all of which are part of "the opposition" but not part of the "Official Opposition".
I don't believe any references to this effect are required in the article. However, please see this Canadian Government page if you feel such references are warranted. -- Todeswalzer| Talk 13:05, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Wait a sec, doesn't Layton only become Opposition leader when the 41st Parliament begins? GoodDay ( talk) 15:14, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
With the election today, it looks like the following scenario is possible: Harper's Tories lose their majority and have a plurality of less than a dozen seats while the Grits get more votes nationwide. Harper decides to keep on as PM while the NDP is in diserray after Mulcair resigns in disgrace. However, whomever is the temporary NDP leader says that his/her caucus will vote against the Throne speech, which would be enough to vote it down...
Would Justin Trudeau be Leader of the Opposition from tomorrow until the Throne speech, or just for a day or two? YoursT ( talk) 14:02, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Discussion closed ...proposal by banned user and clearly not going there way Moxy ( talk) 15:31, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Leader of the Official Opposition (Canada) →
Leader of the Official Opposition –
Leader of the Official Opposition already redirects here, and Canada is the only country that uses that exact title, so it seems a bit redundant to have Canada in parentheses following the page title.

I propose that List of Leaders of the Official Opposition (Canada) be merged into this page (main space). I leads of the two articles share a lot of information as both articles are very small in size. Leader of the Official Opposition (Ontario) already has the list in it. – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 04:04, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Why isn't this page titled 'The Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition'? It is what the title has historically been called and it partly avoids confusion with ' Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons'. -- Wilson ( talk) 03:04, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
