Opinion of Lester Pearson

[RogueBeaver]

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

[Antonio the Sixth]

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

[Dr. Cynic]

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

[Talleyrand]

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".
