He basically destroyed the federal Liberal party west of Ontario in the late '70s, and it still hasn't recovered here. Plus, his economic decisions made the recession in the early 80s much worse than it should have been.
On the other hand, the Nixon White House despised him with a passion, which makes up for an economic downturn 
Pearson really gave Canada an international presence, and won the Nobel peace prize ... he's gotta rank up there too.

My picks agree with Gavin...Pearson or Trudeau.

I think Jean Chretien is very underrated(maybe history will be more kind to him). He was given a horrible position after Mulroney sold the country out and was in some tough spots especially with Quebec. I think he did well with it... He was also someone who stood up for himself.
Kim Campbell, yikes. What a horrible way and situation to be the first female PM.
