The prime ministers : Canada's leaders and the nation they shaped.

Stewart, J. D. M. (Author).

Summary:

"After a surprising conversation with young Canadians who didn't recognize the name Lester B. Pearson -- Nobel Peace Prize winner and Canada's fourteenth prime minister -- author J.D.M. Stewart set out to bring the country's history to a new generation. The result is Canada's Prime Ministers, a lively, accessible chronicle of Canada's leaders, from Sir John A. Macdonald in 1867 to Mark Carney in 2025. With engaging prose and fresh insights, Stewart captures the defining moments of each prime minister's time in office, revealing how they managed relationships with Indigenous peoples, the environment, American presidents, and international powers. He also explores how their reputations have evolved -- who has been forgotten, who remains controversial, and who has become a lasting part of Canada's cultural fabric. Canada's Prime Ministers is a necessary and important book, intended both for newcomers to Canadian history and those who have loved it for a long time"-- Provided by publisher.
