World Leader

The Resume

    (January 28, 1822-April 17, 1892)
    Helped create the Liberal Party
    Immigrated to Canada (1842)
    Second Prime Minister of Canada (1873-1878)

Why he might be annoying:

    He refused knighthood three times to make a point on how he came from working class origins.
    He lost his office to a former Prime Minister that had been deep in scandals his first time in office.
    He was blamed for an economic recession, which made him lose the election.
    He would walk across a frozen lake to visit his future wife Helen, one time falling through the ice and almost drowning.
    Rather than never doing it again, he just brought a pole with him in case he fell through again and needed to get himself out.
    He had a secret spiral staircase installed in the Parliament Buildings at Ottawa so he could escape out the back and avoid the crowds of people at the front.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a stone mason and a building contractor before going into politics.
    As a stone mason, he helped build many buildings that are still standing today.
    He continued works of infrastructure his predecessor started, with many of the buildings constructed still standing.
    He established the Supreme Court of Canada.
    He established the Royal Military College.
    He introduced the secret ballots to keep voting confidential.
    He furthered the goal of establishing a national railway.
    He was the fourth person asked to become the Prime Minister of Canada after MacDonald resigned.
