What kind of legacy did Pierre Trudeau leave for Canada?
374668
Pierre Trudeau presented the world an image of Canada and Canadians as moderne and stylish. He presented Canada as a solid economic partner with a modern and effective military-peacekeeping force.

Was that Vic Cavendish, the Governor General of Canada from early in the 20th Century?  I would search for it in Wikipedia or within a Google search.  Bound to be plenty of official photos.

Canada was originally part of the British Commonwealth, and was ruled by the governor general on behalf of the british monarchy.\nOn July 1, 1867, Canada became an independant country under leadership frim the Prime Minister. The position kept that name for historical reasons.\n\nAnd the Prime Minister is still the title of the highest political position in Canada.

When I was in the Navy in the 1960's there was a Canadian serving with me, from Quebec or Ontario, I am very sure.  The military salaries were extremely low in the USA at that time, at least for enlisted persons.\n\nBut this man claimed he was being paid also by Canada.  He was definitely Canadian and planned to continue there after military service.\n\nI do not know about current arrangements, but I do not at all believe a Canadian would have to renounce Canadian citizenship.  Best to disregard that answer.\n\nI would also guess that U.S. military welcomes Canadians, but as to regulations and agreements between the two nations about this, one needs to consult an authoritative source.\n\nA Canadian military lawyer would probably have the most definitive answer.\n\nAlso, serving in the U.S. military gives you preferences towards U.S. citizenship.  I would guess dual citizenship service members exist already, from Canada, P.I., possibly some other places.

Yes, Argentina used to have a larger economy than Canada until Peronism came along. I guess people always think their problems with be solved if the "right" leader comes along. I think it's fair to say there are a lot of parallels with Chavez.

The above answer is true, but does not fully answer your question.\n\nIn Canada, the federal Conservative part lead by Stephen Harper just tool power from the Liberals who had been in power for twelve years.

Canada is part of the Commonwealth, which is a sort of British Empire alumni club.  The Commonwealth has no power with respect to how its members are governed.  \n\nThe British monarch is still the ceremonial head of state in Canada, but takes no substantive role in governing.

Sir Wilfred Laurier was probably one of the most important Prime Ministers ('best' is so difficult to determine). He came to power at just the right time to see Canadian politics transitioning, and he was probably the most important PM to Canadian unity since Confederation.

Full name: Sir John Alexander Macdonald\nDate of Birth: January 11, 1815 \nPlace of Birth: Glasgow, Scotland \nSpouses: Isabella Clark & Susan Agnes Bernard \nProfession: lawyer \nPolitical Party: Conservative \n\n\nThe Right Honourable Sir John Alexander Macdonald, GCB, QC, PC (January 11, 1815 – June 6, 1891) was the first Prime Minister of Canada from July 1, 1867 – November 5, 1873 and October 17, 1878 – June 6, 1891. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland.\n\nWhile there is some debate over his actual birthdate, January 11 is the official date recorded and January 10 is the day Macdonald celebrated it. His parents, Hugh Macdonald and Helen Shaw, met in Scotland in 1811. After the failure of his father's business ventures, his family immigrated to Canada in 1820 along with thousands of others seeking affordable land and promises of new prosperity.\n\nMacdonald did prosper, becoming a lawyer in 1836 and earning the esteem of many in his defence of American raiders in the Rebellions of 1837. In 1843, at the age of 28, he married his cousin, Isabella Clark (1811 - 1857). They had two children: a son John who died at the age of one, and a second son Hugh John who went on to become premier of the Province of Manitoba. Ten years after the passing of his wife, in 1867, the year of Canadian Confederation, he married Susan Agnes Bernard (1836-1920). They had one daughter, Margaret Mary Theodora Macdonald (1869-1933).\n\n\nPolitical Rise\nIn 1843 Macdonald exhibited his first interest in politics. He was elected as alderman of the City of Kingston, Ontario. The next year he accepted the Conservative party's nomination for a seat in the Legislative Assembly of what was then called the Province of Canada but has since been split into the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Winning the seat easily, Macdonald was now a player in the political scene.\n\nHe gained the recognition of his peers and in 1847 was appointed Receiver General by William Henry Draper's administration. However, Macdonald lost this distinction when Draper's government lost the next election. He left the Conservatives, hoping to build a more moderate and palatable base, leading to the creation, in 1854, of the Liberal-Conservative Party under the leadership of Sir Allan McNab. Within a few years, the Liberal-Conservatives would attract all of the old Conservative base as well as some centrist Reformers. The Liberal-Conservatives came to power in 1854 and under the new administration Macdonald was appointed Attorney-General. In the next election Macdonald continued his rise in politics by becoming Joint Premier of the Province of Canada with Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché of Québec for the years 1856 and 1857.\n\nIn the election of 1858, the Macdonald-Cartier government was defeated and they resigned as Premiers. (Taché had resigned the previous year, with Sir George-Étienne Cartier taking his place). In an interesting piece of politics, the Governor General of Canada asked Cartier to become the senior Premier, only a week after his defeat. Cartier accepted and brought Macdonald into office along with him. This was legal as any member of the cabinet could re-enter the cabinet provided they did so within a month of resigning their previous position. The coalition government was again defeated in 1862. Macdonald then served as the leader of the opposition until the election of 1864, when Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché came out of retirement and joined ranks with Macdonald to form the governing party yet again.\n\n\nFather of Confederation\nAt this point in Macdonald's career, he began to look to the future of politics in his region. He was the leader of arguably the largest British colony in the surrounding area and had the power to help enact agreements to confederate the British colonies. This would be done in an attempt to provide stability to the colonies, which were experiencing frequent government changes, to provide the basis for expansion into the
