I don't think Bordan and Laurier were knighted unti *after* they became PM.
Brown could not have been leader of the opposition since he was never in the federal house of commons being defeated in 1867 in his attempt to win a seat. According to parl.gc.ca he was never an MP.

The article on Alexander Mackenzie says there was no clear leader of the opposition when the Macdonald government fell so why is Mackenzie listed as leader of the opposition in 1873? Andylehrer 11:18, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- As is the case with most positions in the Government, they are Members of Parliament or Senators by convention; however, there is no legal precedent that would bar a Leader of the Opposition from being unelected or unappointed in either of the Houses. FiveParadox 04:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
I thought the title was Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. - Montrealais -Formally it is "The Leader of Her/His Majesty's Loyal Opposition", but infromally it is just "the leader of the Opposition", or "Opposition Leader" Keeperoftheseal 02:00, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
