The final is set, and it will feature a clash between two Canadians whose leadership as Prime Minister no one voting in this poll experienced (I’m going out on a limb to guess there are very few 100 year olds reading this blog).

(1) Mackenzie King (424) 33.57%
(4) Wilfrid Laurier (839) 66.43%

(2) John A. Macdonald (896) 64.55%
(3) Pierre Trudeau (492) 35.45%

While Laurier cruised to a victory in his matchup, Macdonald got a huge boost from the right (slogan: “winning Internet polls, not elections, since 1993“) over the last two days to break a dead heat with Trudeau. While I’m a big Trudeau fan myself, John A. Macdonald is certainly a very deserving finalist, as is Wilfrid Laurier.

The final poll will be posted tomorrow and, once again, you will be able to vote once a day, until next Tuesday at noon, when the final winner will be announced. Throughout the week, I’ll be posting bios, and arguments for and against the two finalists. I think you can make a very good case for either of them.
