Prime Ministers of Canada
(1968- )
Pierre E. Trudeau
(Liberal) 1968-1979, 1980-1984
The man who brought us Trudeaumania and "fuddle duddle" dominated
Canadian politics for sixteen years.
Joe Clark
(Progressive Conservative) 1979-1980
Canada's youngest Prime Minister tried to run a minority government as though he
had a majority. It didn't add up.
John Turner
(Liberal) 1984
Long considered Trudeau's natural heir, there was something missing when his
opportunity finally arrived. The voters agreed.
Brian Mulroney
(Progressive Conservative) 1984-1993
He came in with so much promise, but left under a cloud of unpopularity. Shaking
the dice on constitutional matters and an unpopular tax proved his undoing. It is up to
history to judge.
Kim Campbell
(Progressive Conservative) 1993
Now you see her, now you don't. On June 13th she became PC leader and Prime
Minister. By December 13th she was no longer PM, an MP, or even leader of her party.
Jean Chretien
(Liberal) 1993-2003
Some claim he was the beneficiary of a divided opposition, yet he won
three consecutive majority governments before he retired on December 12, 2003.
Paul
Martin (Liberal) 2003 -
Runner-up to Chretien in the 1990 Liberal Leadership
Convention, Martin served as Finance Minister for nine years.
