For a long time I would've said Mulroney, but I think Harper takes the cake now.

Why? I not a fan of Harper whatsoever, but I can't see how he can even try to be worse than Mulroney. Flagrant corruption, insane "constitutional reform" proposals, annihilating Ontario's industrial base with free trade, reviving Quebec and Western separatism, install an extremely regressive tax, and literally destroying a political party defined the Mulroney years. Harper seems such medicore in comparison.

Pearson? Really?

Who picked Joe Clark and Kim Campbell?

Actually, Kim Campbell routinely ranks last on historical lists of best Prime Ministers. She wasn't in there for very long, and she led her party to ruins. I feel bad for her; She's another good person. The 1993 campaign was pretty terrible though, and it wasn't helped that it was managed by non other than current Toronto Mayor John Tory.


I'm guessing that they has such short governments must be why they were chosen, though neither are really responsible for that.

Tory was the one that approved the "face" ad about Chretien if I remember correctly?

Well, I see we have three definite choices. Maybe I'll do a "best PM" poll later on.
