Here is the list:

John Diefenbaker: Served six years as PM, in his three terms saw Bill of Rights passed and Avro Arrow terminated.

Joe Clark: Ran a minority only nine months before being defeated due to "gas tax".

Brian Mulroney: Free trade, GST, and failed consititutional deals.

Kim Campbell: First female Prime Minister, ran a horrible campaign

Stephen Harper: Current Prime Minister

Mulroney by far. Free trade with the Americans is the basis of our wealth today. Without Mulroney, Canada would be a much poorer country. He also undid alot of the destruction of Trudeau. The end of the NEP was very important to my province.

Personally, I'd venture the argument that Mulroney has had the largest positive influence on the everyday Canadian's life today. Sure, some were hurt by his policies, but in general, Canadians are much better off for having Mulroney around.

Politically, obviously Mulroney leads the way as well, he held the largest popular vote and number of seats in Canadian history.

Definitely Campbell. Most conservative PMs stay around too long. You start out liking them and 2 years later you wish they would develop a severe case of haemorrhoid's, just to teach them not to be a pain in the rectum.

Not Kim though. She had the grace and decorum to disappear......

A real collection of losers isn't it? Why not go back to McDonald? At least he built a railway.

How is referring to those five leaders as losers in any way respectful?

Is your hatred for the Conservatives that deep?

Diefenbaker and Mulroney were the only two of the five who have served long enough to have a real legacy. Both made solid contributions to the open-minded.

IIRC between them they won the two biggest majorities in Canadian history. Huge accomplishments right there.

Is that the same Mulroney who gave us the GST?

The same Mulroney who litterally shut down Canadian small business to American franchise?

The same Mulroney who screwed over one of his business partners and now ows him $300,000?

The Same Mulroney who who might have _____ with Belinda?

Oh just to let you know,

I ordered some stuff from ebay.

I STILL HAD TO PAY TERRIFS AND TAXES.
