Worst Canadian Prime Minster Since WWII?

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

Mulroney is pretty terrible, but at least he has some redeeming qualities that Harper does not. And Harper has just as many terrible policies.

Oh noes rampant social liberalism!!!

Who else are the going to vote for?

King was the worst Liberal on this list, but not for reasons the right cares about.

Turner was the least competent, but he wasn't in there long enough to do any "rampant social liberalism". Paul Martin was more competent, but wasn't in there for very long. Also, he was an awful Finance Minister.

St. Laurent and Chretien were pretty good leaders, and Pearson was probably the best *person* to ever be Prime Minister.

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?

Yes. John Tory has been terrible at everything he has done. I can't believe Toronto elected him as mayor. Well I can, Torontonians are idiots.

Short term Prime Ministers really shouldn't be on any best/worst lists. Their impact was too small.

What would the cut off be? Does Martin count as short term?

So Joe Clark is in, despite only serving less than a year? There are PMs who served longer who never did win an election.
