List of current first ministers of Canada
Canada is a federation that comprises ten provinces and three territories. Its government is structured as a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, with a monarch as its sovereign and a Prime Minister as its head of government. Each of the country's provinces and territories also has a head of government, called premier in English. Collectively, the federal Prime Minister and provincial and territorial premiers are referred to as first ministers. In French, the term premier ministre is used in both the federal and provincial/territorial contexts.
The longest-serving current first minister is Scott Moe of Saskatchewan, who assumed office on February 2, 2018; the newest first minister is John Hogan of Newfoundland and Labrador, who assumed office on May 9, 2025. The oldest first minister, François Legault of Quebec, is 68; the youngest first minister, P.J. Akeeagok of Nunavut, is 40. Of the current first ministers, two (Danielle Smith of Alberta and Susan Holt of New Brunswick) are women and three (P.J. Akeeagok of Nunavut, Wab Kinew of Manitoba, and R.J. Simpson of the Northwest Territories) are Indigenous.
Six current first ministers are from broadly right-leaning parties, while four are from broadly centrist "Liberal" parties and two are from broadly left-leaning "New Democratic" parties. The premiers of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are non-partisan within consensus government systems.
