Join me as I look at every Prime Minister of Canada from Sir John A. Macdonald to Justin Trudeau. I look at the good, the bad and everything else the leaders of Canada have been involved in. See why they left their mark on Canada, why they maybe weren't always great people and why they are part of our history.
