Line 28:
* Pierre Trudeau (Liberal, 1980-1984) - This time around, repatriated the Constitution, meaning the UK could no longer overrule Canadian laws. However, the way he did that annoyed Quebec so much that a separatist movement took hold there (and has never completely gone away).
* John Turner (Liberal) - He held the title of Prime Minister for 79 days (10 days longer than Tupper), but he never lead a federal Parliament.
* Brian Mulroney (Progressive Conservative, 1984-1993) -
* Kim Campbell (Progressive Conservative, 1993) - The first (and, as of 2019, only) female Prime Minister of Canada. Set up to fail after Mulroney read the popularity polls and resigned; the Progressive Conservatives went from a majority government to two seats in the 1993 election, splintering the right into various rump parties.
* Jean Chrétien (Liberal, 1993-2003) - The Conservatives belittled his facial deformity during the election, causing him to reply "This is the face God gave me," giving him the sympathy vote. Didn't need sympathy to get re-elected. Is a member of the Order of Merit.
