5. Sir Charles Tupper

Canada’s 6th prime minister, Tupper holds the record for having the shortest term of office, being head of the nation for just 69 days. Style props go to his mutton-chops and chained pocket watch.

4. William Lyon Mackenzie King

On the fifty dollar bill and the first Mackenzie of this list, the dapper Mackenzie King is best known for being the countries prime minister during the Second World War. I find his style to be ahead of his time in many ways, plus a man who can pull off a fur coat like him is okay in my books.

3. Alexander Mackenzie

Canada’s second prime minister, Mackenzie was uneducated from the age of 13 and was best known for his routes in the working-class, as well as being a scary-looking dude. Very Scary. Nice beard though.

2. Lester B. Pearson

A Nobel Peace Prize winner and champion of the current Canadian flag, Pearson was in charge from 1963-1968. He wore a bow-tie for the entirety of his term, so it seems. I respect that.

1. Mackenzie Bowell

I feel these images of Bowell is explanation enough as to why he is the most fashionable Canadian prime minister. A true baller, I’m sure many a contemporary man would envy his wardrobe.
