John Napier Turner was born in England on June 7, 1929. He was
Canadian Prime Minister for the summer of 1984, representing the
Liberal party. His short lived tenure was a result of the populace becoming tired of his predecessor,
Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Turner was defeated soundly by the charismatic
Brian Mulroney. (Later, a similar fate would befall Mulroney's successor,
Kim Campbell.)
