John Turner

He is notable for being the first prime minister in Canadian history not to be a sitting Member of Parliament at the time of his ascension. His leadership came during a tumultuous political climate, and he is remembered for quickly calling an election after assuming office, which allowed him to continue the legacy of his predecessor, Pierre Trudeau.
