Arguably, Canada's greatest Parliament (s) were Lester Pearson's two back-to-back minority governments supported by Tommy Douglas' NDP and which gave us modern Canada. It gave us a new flag (well, OK, NBD), free and universal and free medicare (!!), kept us out of the Vietnam War, student loans (a radical idea at the time), and the Canada Pension Plan (over and above Old Age Pension).

Alas, Justin Trudeau is no Lester Pearson, but we'll see what we can do with the material at hand.
