Canadian Prime Ministers

This isn't a coin, but a medallion issued by Shell Oil company sometime between 1967 and 1970. It wasn't legal tender. 1873 is the year Mackenzie was PM, not when the medallion was made.

They sell for anywhere from .50cents a couple of dollars depending on the quality and if you can find a collector.

Alaska has no Prime Minister as it is the 49th state of the United States of America, and as such, has a Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Where'd this question come from, anyway?

The Queen is the Head of State, meaning she is the figurehead of the country. The Queen can receive foreign guests, assist in diplomacy and make speeches on behalf of the nation, although the Prime Minister also has these jobs. The Prime Minister is the Head of Government and is in charge of the legislative and executive branches of government. He leads the ruling party and oversees the proposing, passing and implementing of new laws.

The polls were closed and counted.

2006:

5.4 million voted for Conservative candidates

4.5 million voted for Liberal candidates

2.6 million voted for NDP candidates

1.6 million voted for Bloc Quebecois candidates

0.7 million voted for Green candidates

There is no law requiring the prime minister to speak French. For that matter, there is no law requiring the prime minister to speak English either. But for more than a generation, the prime minister from time to time has been able to speak both official languages. The last prime minister to be unilingual English speaking was John George Diefenbaker (1957-1963). (That's Dief, as in chief, followed by en, and then baker.) Diefenbaker used to joke that when he spoke French, every English speaking Canadian knew exactly what he was saying. His pronunciation of the French that was written for him was absolutely dreadful. As a practical political reality, it is now unlikely that anyone would become prime minister who was not bilingual.

Sir Charles Tupper wanted Confederation, for he thought that the railway was needed in Nova Scotia in order to make Nova Scotia's economy prosper. He thought Confederation would let Nova Scotia continue to live.

PEACE.

the executive

Pierre Trudea added a Charter of Rights and Freedoms to the Canadian Constitution in 1982.

Pierre Trudeau has 1 sister named Suzette ,and one brother named Charles Jr.

There have been four Canadian Prime Ministers who were born outside of Canada. They are none other than Sir John A. MacDonald - Scottish and Canadian, Alexander Mackenzie, also Scottish and Canadian, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Scottish and Canadian, and the most recent, John Turner, English and Canadian. Many Cabinet Ministers throughout history have also held multiple citizenships.

It was Alexander, Justin, Michel and Sarah trudeau.

Whether any given Prime Minsiter was "good" is entirely subjective. He was the Prime Minister of Canada throughout WWI, and managed to largely unite the fractured Canadian political scene in his Unionist party. He is credited with contributing to developing the equality of the nations within the British Empire (which became the Commonwealth of Nations). Borden is particularly known for his involvement in the Conscription Crisis of 1917. His face is featured on the Canadian $100 bill.

Yes, of course his kids were Patricia and Geoffry!! :)

Lester B. Pearson was the 14th Prime Minister of Canada.

it doesn't matter.......

a prime minister should only be a citizen of India

&,

he should be a member of either house of the Parliament.

(after becoming PM he can be elected within 6 months)

prime minister doesn't have any educational qualification

Yes, the Prime Minister can be reelected as an MP any number of times, even if they are no longer prime minister following their reelection.

If you mean 'reelected as Prime Minister', the Prime Minister is not directly elected to begin with.

However, the term of a Prime Minister is indefinite, and a Prime Minister can be reappointed by the Governor General any number of times. The only limitation on a Prime Minister's term is that he/she must maintain the confidence of the House of Commons, and can be forced to resign through political pressure (or be dismissed by the Governor General, though this is rare) at any time.

Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister on different occasions, non consecutively, for a period of about 17 years.

he accomplished trying to be a prime minister of Canada

--------------------------------

That he did and very much more. The trio of Trudeau, Chretien and Mulroney accomplished more to change the future of Canada than any other three but of these the most influential by far is Trudeau.

It would take a book to just give a brief review but for starters our Constitution is his. It was not written by the people, nor were the concerns of the people given much consideration and Quebec has yet to sign on to it. That is not surprising as Quebec's concerns were for the most part ignored.

The concentration of power in the Prime Ministers Office was done by Trudeau for the most part. He created a system where our Prime Minister is a defacto dictator between elections. Something Trudeau's party thought was great as it enabled them to pass many laws the people did not support. Of course now that another party is in power they use terms like failing to consult the parliament and control freak.

He destroyed what was left of our Military, making us a protectorate of the USA. Not that he started that process (that was Diefenbaker) but he was Prime Minister at critical time. Instead of rebuilding our military he "reorganized" them into one force.

Trudeau showed a genuine disrespect for much of Canada, in particular the West. His practice of pitting regions against each other continues to this day and has become a major impediment to Canadian unity. His National Energy Program haunts all Provincial agreements on oil and gas and has created a distrust of Confederation in many provinces and particularly Alberta.

Trudeau put into place systems that even today takes money and services from Western Canada and disproportionately transfers them to his home province. A system that has institutionalized inequity in our Confederation and creates unnecessary conflict and competition between members of the Confederation.

Of course that is but one Canadian view. For those new to Canada or living in Eastern Canada or a different view of history and our future, Trudeau could be a hero, a take charge kind of person who got things done that needed to be done, a person who made Canada what it is today.

Alexander Mackenzie did not "discover" Canada. He was the first European to cross what is now Canada from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. He reached the Pacific on July 20, 1793. Lewis and Clark did not cross the US until November 20, 1805.
