1) Sir Charles Tupper:
May 1, 1896 - July 8, 1896
Lead the Conservative meltdown which lead to the election of a Liberal Parliament which elevated Sir Wilfrid Laurier to be PM for the next 15 years.
2) John Napier Turner:
June 30, 1984 - September 17, 1984
After an almost uninterrumpted 16-year Liberal administration (wedged by the brief Conservative minority government of Joe Clark) led by Pierre Elliott Trudeau, he decided to step down. John Turner wasn't even a shadow of Trudeau's. He called the election that would eventually prop Brian Mulroney into office.
3) Kim Campbell:
June 25, 1993 - November 4, 1993
Brian Mulroney left the PM's office a very unpopular man, with a very unpopular Progressive Conservative majority. Needless to say, Kim Campbell led the Progressive Conservative destruction that gave Jean Chrétien his government for 10 years.
All this facts beg the question: Will the Right Honourable Paul Martin join the list of sinking-ship Prime Ministers???
