    Who do you most admire from your country. Only rule is he has to have held some form of politcal office.
    For me its
    Daniel Webster (Great orator, best senator ever from Massachusetts)
    Theordore Roosevelt (Most badass Head of State until Putin)
    John Adams (Best Founding Father President)
    Jimmy Carter (The most underrated President
    Abraham Lincoln (no explanation)

    Sir John A. Macdonald!

    Well, he was from Scotland, but he was the first Prime Minister of Canada.

    Other than that, I have little interest in Canadian politics and history.

    Not all good leaders are good human beings, sadly. They can't all be like me. :)

    well, history shows Genghis Khan was apparently a good father and grandfather, so :p it's surprising, how people are as humans or in personal life.

    Good for him and his family, then. It's good to know that not all leaders are @ssholes.

    You don't have to censor words here. If you did half of Toast's posts would have been censored.
