if you look back at 1930's... in the great depression, US had new deal, Germany had hilter (a big mistake but the economy policy pulled germany out of the mud), UK did not do too much, but at least, UK has a churchill, a good writer.... Canada had nothing.........and did not do anything .......until WWII started in europe and canada got pulled out because of the WWII in europe..................
lacking of vision and competition..............probably Pierre Trudeau can count as a good one, at least, he has characters.........
