Not outlined in any constitutional document, the office exists only as per long-established convention (originating in Canada's former colonial power, the United Kingdom) that stipulates the monarch's representative, the governor general, must select as prime minister the person most likely to command the confidence of the elected House of Commons; this individual is typically the leader of the political party that holds the largest number of seats in that chamber.

That's true, but in practice, people tend to vote for whom they want as leader and the Governor General appoints that person on behalf of the Queen of England.

Man, our system is terrible.
