I voted for Trudeau... but only because he's was the only one living at the same time as myself (that sentence sounds awkward), the rest I only know a little about from history texts. Chretien on the otherhand is my most favourite living Prime Minister as I just loved to watch him at press conferences talking to the media.. LOL.. comedy gold.

Martin will be good too though, too bad he had to rip apart the party to secure a victory he had already won. This scandal thats surfaced almost feels like karma.

"Meh"
Yose.
Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

They look like reptiles. I voted for Trudeau, because he's the most lizard-like of the bunch. It was MacDonald's turtley visage or Trudeau.

I voted for Mackenzie King because he is on the $50 dollars bill.

Whenever the bombarded him with interviews on This Hour Has 22 Minutes he was hilarious and went right along with the act.

Trudeau, he gave us the metric system and was probably our best prime minister that anyone can remember.

I hope martin dies. Rich bastard is bringing the liberals down. I mean come on... its a financial scandal and the finance minister at the time (him) has no clue? If you're going to screw the country out of millions of dollars atleast do it with style.

Those cows won't know what hit 'em. They won't know what hit them even after it hits them, because they're cows.

r., you left my guy off the list. Lester Pearson gave us our flag, CPP, universal medicare and the auto pact.

Pearson wasn't the greatest politician, and led two minority governments beholden to the NDP and Socreds. But he did some good things for Canada, and for the world, as attests his nobel peace prize awarded in 1957 for his work in resolving the Suez crisis.

I chose Wilfrid Laurier from the poll list. He was the first francophone PM, and had the longest unbroken term of office of any Canadian prime minister (15 years) .

I'm from the West, so I know I'm not supposed to like him, but I voted for Trudeau. He was a fun PM. Visiting China and Cuba much to the chagrin of the US, pirouetting behind the Queen, that kind of stuff.

At family gatherings, whenever I mention his name, my grandparents go crazy demonizing him. For half an hour they can go on about, "That son of a bitch Trudeau." It's quite amusing.

I'm glad Chretien took some of Trudeau's playfulness to heart. I love the interview Chretien had with Rick Mercer when they went to Harvey's. I must find a copy of that.

Edit: found the right fast food place.

I voted for Trudeau, because he is the only one that I'm familiar with.
