When a list of Canada's greatest prime ministers is compiled, Sir Wilfrid Laurier is usually near the top. While he did much for our country, he also put in place discriminatory immigration policies and may have had a son with the wife of his law partner. Today, I look at this interesting man.

His 69 days as Prime Minister is the shortest term in our history, but this last surviving Father of Confederation was instrumental in the formation of our country and the intercontinental railroad. Today, I look at Sir Charles Tupper.

Our fifth Prime Minister had a 50 year career as a Parliamentarian but many only remember him as the man whose cabinet pushed him out of power over the Manitoba Schools Question. Today, I look at the interesting life of the prime minister with a great beard, Mackenzie Bowell.

He is considered the greatest prime minister Canada never had. A promising career began when he took over from Sir John Abbott, but ended too soon with a heart attack while at lunch in England. Today, I look at our fourth prime minister.

The man who said he hated politics would find himself as Canada's third PM after the death of Sir John A. Macdonald. While his time as PM was short, he was a very interesting man who had a large impact on Canada's early history.

Our second Prime Minister started as a stonemason with little money and eventually found himself as an unexpected prime minister. During his five years in power, he would change Canada immensely, and bring out many things we still have to this day. Today, I look at the man who refused knighthoods, Alexander Mackenzie.

The first Prime Minister of Canada and a Father of Confederation, John A. Macdonald would have an immense impact on Canada, both good and bad. In my first episode of this new series, I look at his life, his legacy, his drinking and even his drinking exploits.
