Summary: The article opens by stating that the liberal party, and Justin Trudeau, is very behind in the polls when compared to the conservative party (Millard, 2021). It then goes on to state that even if the conservative party win the most votes between the parties, Trudeau could still be the next Prime Minister by once again forming a legislative coalition with the NDP as they did in 2022. Those that voted conservative, however, could become enraged and they could claim the vote to be “undemocratic, illegitimate, rigged” (Millard, March 14, 2024, p. 3). Canada could see an event unfold like the USA did on January 6, 2021. If Trudeau was to once again form a coalition with the NDP to be prime minister again while the Conservatives won the plurality, there

Considering he served for twenty-three year and he served as the longest standing Canadian PM through the great depression and a world war, he made few mistakes mostly not recognizing and acting during the depression. William Lyon Mackenzie King was a semi-successful prime minister considering the economic and military conflict that was present in Canada at the time of his reign. He had a close friendship with the American prime minister, Franklin Roosevelt ultimately helping the Canadian and british war effort.
Today, Canada is seen as a multicultural and peaceful nation that has evolved over the course of history. This great nation would never have been possible without the impact that former Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson left on this country. His achievements and insights profoundly affected and shaped Canada’s nation.

Also, his contributions as a liberal leader as well as the flaws and controversy with Diefenbaker did in fact define this country.
