Lester Pearson
Lester B. Pearson was the 14th Prime Minister of Canada, serving from 1963 to 1968. A Nobel Peace Prize laureate, he is celebrated for his contributions to Canada's social welfare policies and his role in establishing the Canadian pension plan. During his administration, Pearson faced significant economic challenges, including concerns about foreign investment and trade, which led to the appointment of Walter Gordon as Finance Minister to address the growing American influence in Canada’s economy.
