OP On this Canada Day, we do well to remember the many advances and innovations of this great nation. For example, from the Confederation in 1867 until the Second World War, Canadian prime ministers had highly conventional names: e.g. John A. Macdonald, Alexander Mackenzie, John Abbott, and W.L. Mackenzie King. Then, at the end of WWII, the Canadians adopted a constitutional amendment -- Le Acte de Noms Etranges -- which required all Canadian prime ministers to have funny names, e.g. Louis St. Laurent, John Diefenbaker, Pierre E. Trudeau, Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien. And so it is to this very day.
