Lieutenant Governors and Commissioners
All right, I know, I shouldn't have gotten into this. But here are the Lieutenant Governors of the Provinces and Commissioners of the Territories. There are 13 of them all togethrer so the info on each will be very, very limited especially since it's late and I'm tired. How about, East to West? Hmm? Oh, yeah, the amount of information on each of them is relative, some provinces have more information like Ontario (which has an extensive Official Site) rather than BC (which has hardly any information other than his name).
