Lester B. "Mike" Pearson.

Pearson is considered by most to be one of the most accomplished Prime Ministers in Canadian history: his government introduced universal health-care, Canada student loans, the Canada pension plan and the national flag, and kept us out of Vietnam.

Before he went into politics he was a Canada's highest-ranking diplomat, and was one of the main forces behind the formation of the UN and NATO. He basically invented the idea of peacekeeping, in response to the Suez crisis, and won the Nobel peace prize for it.
