Canada's worst ever Prime Minister

How easy is it to access this so-called Bill of Rights. If you find yourself illiterate and thrown in jail, is this Bill going to protect you or do you have to pay a lawyer big money to get it deciphered for you? Would cops like the ones at the YVR tasering incident understand or even care about the Bill of Rights?
and what are you using to measure rich??? You refer to Canada as being the richest country in the world, well what exactly was that measure based upon?
And if you say that he did terribly wrong, please tell me what he should've done that would've been better, e.g. what would you have done that would have been so much better than Trudeau?
I'm not a Trudeau lover, but I'm not sure if Canada, which at the time of 1968 had a strong Oil exporting sector which had developed the country quite strongly relative to other nations of the time, would've necessarily done much better over time to compete with other nations like Japan etc. Regardless of who was Prime Minister.

Jean Chretien was re-elected with a majority three times. Somebody must have liked him. He didn't get all those votes from his mother. Obviously, he wasn't the worst prime minister in everyone's eyes.
Look at this objectively juan. Chretein won a landslide victory against Campbell... The public slaked it's fury against Mulroney and rewarded the libs. The win by the libs after that were also impacted by a split conservative vote and later the election was timed (perfectly) by Chretein to take full advantage of the dissaray of the opposition.
While the general electorate supported the liberals, there was/is a little more to the story than suggesting that the electorate was ecstatic with Chretein.

Like I said, #juan, Canadians are being systematically de-educated.
With unions running the teachers, what should be and always has been a devoted dedication to duty has become a JOB, strictly for money, and no teacher left that cares a whit about the welfare and the education of the kids.
Teachers' duty under the unions is to teach kids all the socialist nonsense they can cram into any given semester.

I hadn't really thought about it that way, but yes I think you may be onto something there. The purpose of the charter is (supposedly) to protect the most marginalized.
I believe Chretien's first election was an anti-Mulroney vote but the succeeding elections certainly had something to do with the people's approval of Chretien's eliminating the deficit and paying down some of the debt. I don't think the people were ecstatic over Chretien but they did give him two more majority governments for whatever reason. Chretien, among other things, was an astute politician who knew his own strengths. People constantly under estimated Chretien at least partly because of a speech impediment that he was born with.
He deteriorated a bit over time, but basically he is a tough old warrior, intellectually, politically and with the fisticuffs.
I was under the impression we didn't really need a "bill of rights" (properly known as the "Charter of Rights and Freedoms"). We had the Magna Carta and the BNA act. All we really needed to do was modify those if necessary.
