Was the official a "governor" or "premier"

According to the article: Once in Canada, Irving used the hat of the local governor instead of the hat of a confederate. When Irving returned the governor’s hat “filled with goo”, the audience “broke loose and some laughed until they lay down in the aisles”. Zamloch ran from the wings and offered to pay for the hat.[9]

This sounds erroneous. There were no "governors" in Canada at this time. The heads of provincial governments were "premiers", and the representatives of the Crown in the provinces were lieutenant-governors. Colonies still with governors had not yet entered Confederation, and so were not yet part of Canada. Once joined, the governors were replaced by lieutenant-governors.156.34.58.237 (talk) 15:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Good point. The article actually was in an American paper and quoted Zamloch as saying not being sure of the title but believing it was the governor.Cbl62 (talk) 16:12, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
