Canadian FlagPrime Ministers of Canada lists all the Prime Ministers of Canada along with how long they were in office, how they left office, and other interesting trivia, like:

Technically, there are no such things as “terms” for Canada’s Prime Ministers. Brian Mulroney was not a “two-term” Prime Minister, he was just a Prime Minister who was elected twice. He only took the oath of office once.

…the Prime Minister’s Office has absolutely no immediate mechanisms in place for what to do in the event of the sudden death of the Prime Minister. When the current occupant drops dead, his party’s caucus has to make a mad scramble to appoint a new leader ASAP. This usually takes about a week.
