Americans: who is your favourite Canadian Prime Minister?

[HEyHEY]

This should be neat.

[ogminlo]

1. Okay, you win...

Yeah yeah, dumb Yanks don't know who any of those guys are or anything about them... I know I don't. Guilty as charged!

[HEyHEY]

2. Forgive me this isn't intended to expose ignorance at all

I really am curious.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. Pierre Trudeau!

One of the world's greatest Statesmen!

[HEyHEY]

4. I touched his casket

I was living in T-R at the time and some friends and I ditch class at Universite Du Quebec and went down to his state...kinda wish I'd a went to the funeral instead.

18. I would vote for his wife! She was a stone cold freak!

[bushwakker]

5. Don't remember Trudeau

but I wish we had someone like Chretien living in the White House.

6. Where's Sir Charles Tupper?!?

PM of Canada from May 1896 to July 1896. He was the shortest-serving PM in Canadian history.

I think Kenny Rogers' song "The Gambler" was at least partially about Sir Charles Tupper:

You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run...

[HEyHEY]

7. Oh, I thought Campbell was the shortest

How long was tupper in?

EDIT: Wait it was about two days right?

[elperromagico]

9. She was party leader from June to December 1993, I think.

Tupper didn't survive that long.

8. I thought the most recent prime minister was "Poutine."..

I wanted to vote for him! he he

[elperromagico]

10. I'd never go with Poutine! He endorsed Bush!

Damn you, Jean Poutine! Worst. PM. Ever. ;)

[gator_in_Ontario]

14. But he was dang good on fries...

ya gotta admit!:)

[ConcernedCanuk]

11. Awwww - ya left out our Lady Prime Minister !

.
.
Kim Campbell

She wasn't "in" long enuf to really judge her

But IF I had a vote, it would be Chretien

I think our "statesman" PET, (Pierre Elliot Trudeau) woulda got us into that war.

For those that are curious - here's access to ALL their bio's

[HEyHEY]

12. Uh...no I didn't

SHe's there...look harder! :-) ;-)

[elperromagico]

13. She's on there.

Right above "other"

[ConcernedCanuk]

15. OOPS

.

:eyes:

[baldguy]

16. Gary Trudeau!

[nuxvomica]

17. Believe it or not, I know nothing about Canadian politics

Even though I live only a few hours from her magnificent and frosty border. So I chose Chretien because he said after retiring that he'd have a fine fee in one hand and a joint in the other.

[TXlib]

19. Pierre Trudeau... I love his cartoon, Doonesbury!

:evilgrin:

[Beaker]

20. the guy that draws doonesbury...

he used to be the prime minister, right...?
