The Canadian Prime Minister is like Obama, he's a Top Dog. No-one higher up except for God.

There was a Provincial Premier that went to the US for heart surgery in 2010. And that caused a lot of press. In his case, I believe there was a new technique being pioneered in Florida, and he wanted to take advantage of that. It was widely reported as the Canadian Prime Minister, but that wasn't the case.

I have no doubt that there are some very wealthy Canadians who go the the USA for surgery. No doubt at all. But I think it is erroneous to think it happens frequently. Heck, if I were a Billionaire who needed an operation, I'd probably shop around all over the world for the best procedure.
