Lieutenant Governors of Canada West
editWhat proof is there that the position of Lieutenant Governor of "Canada West" existed? The colony of Upper Canada ceased to exist with the Act of Union (1840) which came into effect the following year. There was one unitary colony with one legislative assembly and one governor. We would have to consult the letters patent for each governor to determine exactly what titles were assigned to him by the Queen and government of the UK.--BrentS 4 July 2005 15:25 (UTC)

Are you sure that shouldn't be "Lieutenants Governor", with the plural on the first word? Ewlyahoocom 21:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Interesting prospect...it would be grammatically correct, but I have never heard it, and it is certainly not the most commonly used form. It should probably not be named that way, though, per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). Ardric47 23:25, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Moved. —Nightstallion (?) 11:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
I understand that there's a naming convention, but I've moved the information back; all nine other lists of provincial lieutenant-governors have the same title format as this article (as well as the lists of State Governors for Australia). The others could be renamed "List of Lieutenant-Governors of...", but it seemed easier to rename one article than ten. As well, in Canada lieutenant-governor is hyphenated. --gbambino 19:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, none of the provinces hyphenate it, nor is it hyphenated in the constitution.--Ibagli (Talk) 03:00, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Move discussion in progress
editThere is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Lieutenant governor of Georgia which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 21:15, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Kings and Queens of Ontario
editI find the listing of monarchs unnecessarily clutters the article and have posting to NPOVN to seek advice of other editors. TFD (talk) 16:50, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Lieutenant governors of Canada West II
editNo-one responded to BrentS's question 15 years ago. I've looked into it. I've not found any references to the "Lieutenant Governor of Canada West" except in articles on Wikipedia itself, unsourced. As BrentS said, the Province of Canada was a unitary government. There weren't sub-governments for Canada East and Canada West. The inclusion of this shadowy officer in this list seems unwarranted. Since in fifteen years no-one has responded to BrentS's post, I'm going to be bold and remove the entry. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 12:31, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
Why the use of small font?
editWhy is small font used on this page for some dates (not all)? I don't see any reason for the use of small font. Unless there is a reason that I'm missing, I think we should not use small font. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 13:45, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
