Yet two years later, the previously discredited and out-of-touch Republican Party scored a historic landslide in the 2010 midterm election. In the largest congressional midterm shift since 1938, the Republicans captured 63 seats in the House of Representatives, ending a four-year Democratic majority.

And that was hilarious.

Can-African/Caribbean PMs = 0



Canada had slavery until 1833... a mere -30 years before the U.S abolished it.

LOLz

Canada wasn't a country in 1833 . If you look at your posted list of Canadian Prime Ministers you will note they start in 1867 . I get your point though .
Political Nick have you ever heard of Africaville ? It is in Nova Scotia , last I looked they were part of Canada and I don't think the residents that lived there jumped on a boat from Jamaica .

Few Canadians know about this part of our history. It might have been a short-lived period of slavery, but slavery it was, and it is a part of our history.

Can-African PMs= 0

Can- Woman PMs= 5 months

And indigenous PMs?

It wasn't a country, but it still existed, just as a British colony. In fact, that is probably why slavery was so short-lived. Once the Queen condemned it and the British Parliament put an end to it, Canada had to toe the line.

Natives were used as slave labor too....

The Irish were slaves. Limeys sold them by the boat load.

The 8 years of the Obama Shuck and Jive act cost America dearly. His legacy is simple. 1. He made the US the laughing stock of the world nations. 2. He let boys into girls bathrooms. 3.His declaration of National Monuments was a joke. 4. His vacation and golf attendance set new records to a president. 5. He made a mockery of US law enforcement efforts to keep the peace.

This thread like many threads have evolved.

However, I do like where you are going with this...

Obama's Goodbye Speech titled "Years of Squandered Hope"

And even there, no one voted for Kim Campbell to be PM. She was the Deputy PM when Mulroney bailed out and merely stepped into the position similar to the way a Vice President in the US would.

So it has been simply white males... mostly old.
