Not a big fan of "ranking" leaders (tee-hee..."leaders") because, well, there's too much to consider.
However, in Canada, who have been the most memorable (define memorable however you choose) leaders in the last 50 years or so?
My list is pretty basic: Diefenbaker, Pearson, Trudeau.
I suppose you can throw Mulroney in there because of Meech Lake, Free trade and his Irish connection to Reagan.
I agree without reservations to your first three choices can't see any others though.
ReplyDeleteIt would get messier if we include the last 100 years with King and Laurier.
ReplyDeleteIt would since they were rather controversial asw was John A. for that matter.
ReplyDeleteI would not include Brian because Meech was a dismal failure, free trade works only as long as the USers benefit and for Reagan he had nothing to do with it.
