Viceroys

Both this page, and the official government of Canada website, claim that the first Governor General of Canada was Samuel de Champlain in 1627. However, this page also features a list of multiple "Viceroys of New France" prior to Champlain. If no source claims them as Governor Generals, aren't they irrelevant to this page? Or am I missing something, I admit I am not very knowledgeable about the subject. 69.156.5.6 (talk) 22:11, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this note at Monarchy of Canada has some relevance. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 22:37, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chart

The chart suggests that Mark Carney became PM at the same time Charles became king. Can someone fix this? Wellington Bay (talk) 00:36, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
