Best Canadian Prime Ministers

TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDEAU! He kicked ass so much that, where I come from, his name is synonymous with extreme success. 'Dude, I can't believe you just jumped over 86 buses on your BMX! ' 'I know, I totally Trudeaued it' - ninapalmer

John Lennon once stated that " if all politicians were like Mr. Trudeau there would be world peace. absolutely amazing man and by anyone who understands is held in higher regard than most people here. - severalsomeones

He made the people love him and appealed to everybody. He deserves the number 1 spot.

Honestly, Pierre Trudeau did a lot with the Canadian Community. He deserves this spot

The media will say a lot about this man; especially considering the primary focus of these elections were to get him out of office by the Liberals and NDP party. The greatest Prime Minister of all time? Maybe not. But certainly one of the best. Trudeau being number one is just not right. He was a charismatic guy, but didn't do as much as people make it out to be. Pearson, Laurier, Harper, and King. Those are the great Prime Ministers of Canada. Back to Harper, a man who invested in the people and believed in the achievement of greatness. While his environmental policies weren't anything to prance about, his foreign policies were one of the best Canada has ever seen. The economy was managed well under Harper. He couldn't control oil prices and the recession which had an effect as he took and managed parliament. He managed to have very low unemployment levels for the general period of time which he took office. Overall, while he may not have been the best in every regard, Harper was a ...more

Steered a nation through the Great Recession. Canada is the ONLY G8 country not to have suffered the effects of the global financial crisis, because of Harper's brilliant use of budgetary deficit when required - in times of NEED! In good years, we should have balanced budgets or surpluses to live within our means, unlike Justin and Pierre Trudeau, silver spoon Socialists who buried this country in debt to carry out their Socialist policies...all on the backs of working Canadians! No wonder they were best friends with Fidel Castro!

Pierre Trudeau? Greatest PM? Are you people serious? If creating the worst deficit in canadian history, creating the highest rate of unemployment in Canadian history, killing industries, ordering martial law, attempting to nationalize energy and allowing third world immigrants to flood Canada are what you think makes a good leader, then I just don't know what to say. Stephen Harper on the other hand, created Canada's lowest unemployment rate in 40 years and because of him, Canada has emerged out of the worst recession since the 1930s better than lots of countries and will be one of the first developed countries to balance a budget since the recession began. That's a leader I can be proud of.

One of the greatest!

Am believing this Prime Minister gives what Canada needs and is a good Prime Minister, despite being a little overly detachment when it comes to certain policies and certain events. The media though is on the hill about the Liberals non stop however. Not sure if that is good or bad still. - iliescu

He would strongly condemn this list and sincerely apologize for any hurt feeling because of it. Just another step on the never ending circular path to reconciliation. - Xean45

Justin Trudeau has a lot of things to fix because of Harper's ignorance. Even with a lot of negativity Trudeau stands tall and keeps reminding Canadians that we will get back what we once had. He also has big shoes to fill as his dad was one of the best PM's the country ever had.

Great man
