Best Canadian Prime Ministers

Trudeau and his son are the inspiration for my heritage fair project. He accomplished so much for this country.

The Canadian Charter of Rights was signed by him! That charter gives any Canadian the right to vote and express their thoughts. He was an army cadet, and you could trace his family members back to the early 1500s.

Pierre is, without a doubt, the greatest prime minister.

John Lennon once stated that if all politicians were like Mr. Trudeau, there would be world peace. He was an absolutely amazing man, held in higher regard by anyone who understands him.

He was outstanding in his efforts to form the nation of Canada and help write the laws and statutes defining the country. His administration did tremendous work in helping our indigenous peoples learn how to integrate into a rapidly changing and modernizing world. Outstanding for certain, despite how the radical left-wing extremists try to distort the truth.

An extraordinary man whose work shaped the foundations of Canada. He worked very hard at finding methods to help the Indians become educated and involved in the changing world.

He will be rolling in his grave at how the state failed the natives and the staggering poverty and crime the welfare state always creates.

The longest-serving PM, he either retired or died in office. I can't remember.

A very credentialed Prime Minister who successfully managed the worst recession since the Great Depression. Because of the US financial crisis, he reluctantly ran up some debt but did hand the Turd a billion-dollar surplus.

He was prominent and very respected on the world stage and very successful at home, even with having to counter the corrupt slander from the leftist propagandists.

PM Harper was very well qualified, possessing many of the necessary credentials one would expect from a country's leader. He managed the country exceptionally well, leading Canada through the most challenging recession since the Great Depression.

Economists state there are two situations that can justify deficit spending: recession and war. PM Harper did begin some infrastructure spending, which led to a deficit. However, he got it under control and subsequently handed over a billion-dollar surplus.

Mr. Harper's leadership is sadly missed for sure.

Laurier was the greatest Prime Minister because he brought the most personal liberty, economic success, and pride to Canada. He was also the longest continuously serving PM.

It's worth mentioning the inclusion of Alberta and Saskatchewan into Canada during his tenure.

He introduced universal health care, student loans, the Canada Pension Plan, the Order of Canada, and the Maple Leaf flag. He also helped create legal equality for women.

His Liberal government unified Canada's armed forces. Pearson convened the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, and he kept Canada out of the Vietnam War.

Pearson was the consummate diplomat politically. He gave Canada its own distinctive flag and was responsible for making Canada a world leader in peacekeeping.

The only modern PM to pay down the debt, he was more fiscally conservative than the Conservatives. He gave a lifetime of service to Canada and its people, coming from humble beginnings.

A very knowledgeable man, he was not a tax-and-spend Liberal. He must be very disappointed in the present Liberal PM.

He kept the country together during the 1995 Referendum (which was so close!). He also passed the Youth Criminal Justice Act, which has been successful in holding youth accountable.

He refused to involve Canada in wars with Iraq and Syria.

He passed a lot of legislation to combat climate change, such as the Single-Use Plastic Ban, the Carbon Tax, and a promise to reduce methane emissions by at least 75% below 2012 levels. He also introduced the Clean Fuel Standard.

Justin Trudeau initiated significant progress on Indigenous reconciliation, including protecting Indigenous languages and moving forward with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Despite challenges, he managed to maintain a stable relationship with the United States during Donald Trump's presidency, with the help of Chrystia Freeland, although the USMCA still requires improvements.

A man of unshakeable principles, he detested patronage so much that he had a secret staircase that led directly from his office in the West Block to the outside, avoiding those seeking lucrative government contracts in exchange for party contributions.

He was the first working-class prime minister, a stonemason who led from a strong moral base. We need more like him! Unfortunately, despite his accomplishments, which are still in place today, he is a mere footnote in Canadian history.

No corruption, an honest, straight-shooting PM who initiated the secret ballot (privacy). He founded the Royal Military College, created the Supreme Court of Canada, and established the office of the Auditor General.

Paul Martin is one of the very few liberals worthy of respect. This is largely because of his time as finance minister under the corrupt government of Jean Chrétien.

Thank goodness he was the finance minister who kept working hard to heal the catastrophe created by Pierre Trudeau. It took 30 years to get his massive federal debt accumulation under control.

Probably the most underrated Liberal PM. He is remembered for the Sponsorship Scandal but managed to pass many important measures, such as the Kelowna Accord, which aimed to make crucial investments in the future of Indigenous People.

He also set targets during the last major global climate conference, the Kyoto Protocol, to reduce our emissions and Canada's overall impact.

He had to deal with the damage after WWII, the beginning of the Cold War, and the Korean War. He also revived Canada's economy and helped Newfoundland join the country.

He suffered the consequences of following the first Trudeau government's disaster, debt accumulation, and double-digit inflation. He definitely had his hands full.

The best PM in my lifetime. He removed the Manufacturers' Sales Tax, introduced the GST, addressed the financial mess Trudeau #1 left him with, and negotiated Free Trade.

He also worked on the Meech Lake Accord (perhaps the best constitutional achievement never implemented), got the Acid Rain Treaty and the Ozone Treaty, and helped end apartheid. He did more for Canada in nine years than all other PMs combined in the last fifty years.

She showed all those guys out there that women can hold office as well.
