Conclusion
Both men were met with their own challenges

while serving as Prime Minister and left their

own legacy. Our survey showed that Trudeau
was the more well known prime Minister but
we believe that could have had something to
do with his son being elected 5 weeks ago to
represent the Liberals. We believe both men
were well educated and served our country
proudly and fought for a lot of the same issues
such as multi culturalism, equality,
bilingualism and a better life over overall as
Canadians.
