I couldn't really rank them in order, but my views of most of the Liberal PM's would be positive; if I was a Canadian I would be a federal Liberal. The exception would be Pierre Trudeau who seemed like a trendy, elitist snob, and who I would probably have hated. Lester Pearson seems like someone who managed to achieve a great deal of progressive change with a minority government. I'd consider Chretien to be solid, sensible and experienced, and I think Paul Martin could have been good if he'd been given the benefit of a full term of office.
Of the Tories, it seemed like Diefenbaker and Clark had their hearts (if not always their brains) in the right places. Mulroney was truly appalling and I believe that people in Canada still hate him even now. Campbell was only PM and party leader for the last few months of a doomed government so it's difficult to form a view, likewise for John Turner of the Liberals.
