While Stephen Harper is popular in Alberta, with 51 per cent having a favourable view, his popularity collapses elsewhere.
A new poll done by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies found that 41 per cent of Canadians had a positive view of Chrétien, who served from 1993 to 2003 as prime minister. This, despite his government having its own share of scandals.
It is also “significant,” Jedwab said, that Chrétien was last prime minister nearly 20 years ago, and therefore the memory of his scandals or bad political moves, are less well-remembered.The allegations that Chrétien profited off real estate sales in his hometown of Shawinigan, Que., have their origins in the 1980s.
Still, he is a more popular — and far less polarizing — figure than other prime ministers of the last few decades, including Harper. Mulroney still comes out with 36 per cent holding a positive view, which is highest, at 45 per cent, in Quebec, and lowest, at 20 per cent, in British Columbia. Trudeau Sr. has a 37 per cent positive view and a 19 per cent negative view. He’s much loved in Ontario, and despised — the National Energy Program still looms large — in Alberta, . In Quebec, where the constitutional negotiations left a sour taste among many Quebecers, only 31 per cent have a positive view of him.
