Canada has had a wide variety of Prime Ministers since 1867, ranging from staid to flamboyant to ... well ... odd.

Sir John A. Macdonald (Liberal-Conservative, 1867-1873)
Alexander Mackenzie (Liberal, 1873-1878)
Sir John A. Macdonald (again, Liberal-Conservative, 1878-1891)
Sir John Abbott (Liberal-Conservative, 1891-1892)
Sir John Thompson (Liberal-Conservative, 1892-1894)
Sir Mackenzie Bowell (Conservative, 1894-1896)
Sir Charles Tupper (Conservative) - He held the title of Prime Minister for 69 days, but he never lead a federal Parliament.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier (Liberal, 1896-1911)
Sir Robert Borden (Conservative, 1911-1917; Unionist, 1917-1920)
Arthur Meighen (National Liberal and Conservative Party, 1920-1921)
William Lyon Mackenzie King (Liberal, 1921-1926)
Arthur Meighen (again, Conservative, 1926)
William Lyon Mackenzie King (again, Liberal, 1926-1930)
R. B. Bennett (Conservative, 1930-1935)
William Lyon Mackenzie King (one more time, Liberal, 1935-1948) - Staid, never-married, known now (but not while he was Prime Minister) to employ mediums so he could consult dead colleagues and his dead mother.
Louis St. Laurent (Liberal, 1948-1957)
John Diefenbaker (Progressive Conservative, 1957-1963)
Lester B. Pearson (Liberal, 1963-1968)
Pierre Trudeau (Liberal, 1968-1979) - Brought Canadian Politics out of sobriety and into flamboyance.
Joe Clark (Progressive Conservative, 1979-1980) - "Joe Who?" Lost a confidence motion on his very first budget.
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.
Jean Chrétien (Liberal, 1993-2003)
Paul Martin (Liberal, 2003-2006)
Stephen Harper (Conservative, 2006-2015)
Justin Trudeau (Liberal, 2015- ) - As of July 2019, the incumbent. Pierre Trudeau's son. Has been portrayed on The Simpsons.
