Because I think that the Last Best West Ability is actually more representative of Canada as a whole than the Four Faces of Peace which is leader specific.

It can only be used once, we see it in the first look that the icon disappears after use.To me the biggest advantage of the Mountie is that building the park doesn't consume the unit. If that's so, you can just build one and have him drop a park in every city. I think Canada will beeline Eiffel Tower so they have greater flexibility in placing.
Were PET or Mackenzie King included in speculation? I'm curious what you guys thought their abilities would be.
MacKenzie King I thought might have some special ability related to predicting climate events. It was the only way I could think of to build an ability around his only distinctive feature: his consulting with his dead mother before making major political decisions.
Trudeau the Elder is too divisive a character to include in the game. Two large regions of the country strongly dislike him, for two completely different reasons. Plus, his son is now PM, which would make the pick political. Finally, and most importantly, there are far better choices for Canada's leader than Pierre Elliot Trudeau, whose main claim to fame may be that Americans remember him. Choosing him as Canada's leader would be like picking the Hockey Rink as Canada's unique infrastructure … oh, wait.
Mackenzie King was pretty crazy, but he's still considered one of our most successful and memorable PMs. Crazy or not, he did a fine job and navigated the horror of WWII.
Pierre Elliot Trudeau is considered our most intelligent PM and was one of the people that formed Canada's identity as international peacekeepers and was a big supporter of both the French and English people of Canada. I come from a very political family, with members on both sides of the aisle and all of us deeply respect the impact he had. It's tough to find a leader that everybody is on board with. Hell, John A McDonald was a nasty drunk supposedly. I do agree that his son being in power is probably a reason to steer clear though.
Trudeau may be loved in the east but he was hated in the west, especially in the prairies. Very few in my family who were alive when Trudeau was PM have a positive thing to say about him. I do not think he would be the ideal Canadian leader in civ.
If CdM can't even flourish a glass of wine, I don't think we can have a leader chugging liquor on screen. That would be entertaining though. Maybe next Civ game can be rated T?PS MacDonald being half in the bag on the leader screen might be the best part of having him as Leader! There could be a bottle discretely tucked in his suit coat, on the "defeat screen" he can pull it out and take a big swig.
