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)
- 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.
