What proof is there that the position of Lieutenant Governor of "Canada West" existed? The colony of Upper Canada ceased to exist with the Act of Union (1840) which came into effect the following year. There was one unitary colony with one legislative assembly and one governor. We would have to consult the letters patent for each governor to determine exactly what titles were assigned to him by the Queen and government of the UK.--BrentS 4 July 2005 15:25 (UTC)

Are you sure that shouldn't be "Lieutenants Governor", with the plural on the first word? Ewlyahoocom 21:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Interesting prospect...it would be grammatically correct, but I have never heard it, and it is certainly not the most commonly used form. It should probably not be named that way, though, per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). Ardric47 23:25, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Moved. —Nightstallion (?) 11:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

I understand that there's a naming convention, but I've moved the information back; all nine other lists of provincial lieutenant-governors have the same title format as this article (as well as the lists of State Governors for Australia). The others could be renamed "List of Lieutenant-Governors of...", but it seemed easier to rename one article than ten. As well, in Canada lieutenant-governor is hyphenated. --gbambino 19:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, none of the provinces hyphenate it, nor is it hyphenated in the constitution.--Ibagli (Talk) 03:00, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
