Overall, mega-FF despite a weak leadership style and certain domestic disagreements.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm praying for another black-yellow majority, and for the SPD to get shattered.  It's exactly what it deserves.

From what I've read of him, massive FF and probably Canada's best PM.

Thank you so much, USF.

Probably the best PM Canada's had the last century. Either he or Mackenzie King.

Probably the greatest Prime Minister of Canada in the 20th century, as Dr. Cynic and Antonio have pointed out. While he was never able to exert power in a majority government, his accomplishments make up for that.

Seems to be a good guy. I like Canadians and the Canadian Liberal Party was pretty much an FF party until recently.

If you count 1984 as recent...

Overall a FF, but he was buoyed by a need to appease the NDP, so much of his FFness is actually because of Tommy Douglas. But one thing I will credit Pearson for was changing our flag. Well done, "Mike".
