Also why has no one mentioned Justin Trudeau?
I second that. Canada may not be a huge economical power, but when the media talk about the "Free world" they mostly refer to social issues and cultural influence. His stance on same-sex marriage and legalization of Cannabis is very popular worldwide, and Drake and Justin Bieber have been conquering the whole world.
Trudeau has been mentioned in his three years of leadership waaay more often in the German media than Harper's ten-year tenure. I assume that most Europeans hadn't even ever heard of Stephen Harper. Quite many know Trudeau's name, though.
