Canada's Best Prime Minister

[Polygong]

Since we've had a discussion recelty about who was the worst, just wondering who everyone thinks is the best

My vote goes to Lester Pearson

Note that I only had a max of 10 options for the poll so I picked the 10 most likely choices that I could think of.

 

[Liberalman]

Pierre Trudeau because he put Canadians first

 

[pegger]

I voted Pearson.

 

[Blackleaf]

I would have voted if I'd actually even heard of these people.

We don't hear a lot about Canadian politics in the UK.

 

[#juan]

I voted Pearson. Not just because he won a Nobel prize but because I thought he sincerely cared about Canada.

 

[Liberalman]

Our Canadian politicians never charged the tax payers for the cleaning of the mote and American politicians charge their taxpayers for high priced call girls.

I blame the BBC. An entire city could explode in Canada and the BBC would probably pass by it, but if anyone of even the slightest significance in America so much as farts in public they're all over it.

No he put Quebec first. The best thing that can be said about
trudeau is that he made Mulroney look good.

No one west of Winnipeg ever thought so.

I voted Pearson .The good old man "invited " me to Canada in 1964. At that time,Canada was a beautiful place to grow and learn.
And than , 4 years later, in 1968, a maniac from Quebec appeared .That a..hole destroyed our country .
Canada has never bin the same .

 

[Polygong]

Absolute horse sh it!!

Doesn't sound like Canada was ever "your" country and you now live in China.

There is still no better place than Canada to raise kids.

Very impressive ...

It has , for 41 ys.Though at present in China I still pay my Canadian taxes .....that makes me a Canadian , mister.

If you like to be on social assistance though from what I hear , Switzerland is allot better.
Where else have you brought up your children #juan ?

Only in Canada but we've travelled a fair amount. How do you know Switzerland is better? Why would anyone want to be on social assistance? In any case, I've been retired for ten years so it looks like I won't get a chance.

 

[lone wolf]

I can't think of a Prime Minister who was actually more than a puppet for the money that pulls the strings.

Yes, I've often felt that visiting other places is exactly like living and raising a family there.

And you obviously think that making up your own words is easier than reading what is written.

 

[Cannuck]

And you obviously think that making up your own words is easier than reading what is written.

..and obviously using the quote function is "making up your own words".

So tell me, how much time do you need to spend in Copenhagen to figure out how good or bad the Danes are in raising their kids and did you have to leave your hotel room to gather these nuggets of information?

Still trying to find where I said anything like this: "Yes, I've often felt that visiting other places is exactly like living and raising a family there. "
I was stationed in Baden-Solingen Germany for three and a half years. We were only about twenty kms from the Swiss border, We got to know quite a few people from that country. I saw nothing to suggest that the Swiss were bad parents, nor did I see anything to make me think they were better than Canadians at raising their kids.

Just out of curiosity, the one who voted "other", who did you mean?
