By The Numbers: Gender Inequality By The Numbers for Canadian Prime Minister and Premiers

1: The number of women who have served as prime minister of Canada,

23: The number of men who have served as prime minister of Canada.

13: The number of women who have served as premier of a province or territory in Canada.

271: The number of men who have served as premier of a province or territory in Canada

36: Number of male prime ministers and premiers named John

18: Number of male prime ministers and premiers named William/Bill

 

 

To the best of my knowledge, all of this information has never been combined, listed or completed. Now there is a living record clearly showing the gender inequality by the numbers. It is time for there to be more women's names on the list. Period.
