Pearson became Canada's 14th Prime Minister, he had already received the Nobel Peace Prize for creating the United Nations peace-keeping force during his term as President of the General Assembly of the United Nations. While Prime Minister, Pearson's government established the Canada Pension Plan, universal health care and the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. It also adopted a striking new flag. Thanks to Pearson's initiatives at the United Nations, that flag is now recognized world wide as the symbol of a peace-loving nation. Danek Mozdzenski, the Edmonton-based sculptor responsible for creating this monument, completed the statue in 1989. From where the monument sits, at least twelve Canadian flags can be seen flying in the skies above Ottawa. About Parliament Hill Parliament History The Hill Cam Centennial Flame ... Help

Lester B. Pearson By Brett Roberts There were many other factors when I decided to choose Pearson as the most influential Canadian, one being he worked for world peace in many countries. Many of the committees he formed were working to develop better facilities in places where food and water were not a given. While on the commission topic I also chose Pearson because he was not scared to start new things and develop new ideas. He was a go-getter type of guy who wanted to make the world a better place. He represented Canada well as a diplomat serving in many nations for long periods of time. The main reason I chose Pearson was for the work that went into the Suez Crisis, for which he earned the Nobel Peace Prize. Mike was a great political leader as well. He served as an excellent defense party, but was better in the Prime Minister position. He introduced many new bills that Canada still has in place today and he battled long and hard for people’s rights, especially the French. Although he did not serve very long as Prime Minister, he has a long list of accomplishments that many great Prime ministers cannot match. Pearson may have had the best of times, but he also suffered many downfalls, but his made him become a better person and politician. Many people who have reached this high status, may think they are better than others, but Mike did not think like that. He had a confident look on his face, but he was a good person in general. He always saw the good in situations. Where no hope could be found Mike came to the situation and created something wonderful. While doing this, he helped many unfortunate groups of people reach respectability.

HOME Site map Contact Lester Pearson was involved in the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty, and is especially known for Article Two. Pearson, like Achilles, Hickerson, and others, was trying to create the Atlantic Union of Clarence Streit through Article Two. Article Two is also know as the "Canadian Article." After his long, hard fight for Article Two, Lester never stopped trying to get it fully implemented. In May of 1956 - Lester was appointed to a committee - the Committee of the Three - AKA the "Three Wise Men." *See "More than Military" essay about the non-military aspect of the NAT - and its Article Two - and Lester's fight for it! Pearson signing the NAT - 4 Apr. 49 - for Canada - and his beloved Article Two! Pearson calls 1956 the busiest and the most exciting of his career. Part of the Committee's questioning were the development of non-military aspects of the Alliance and keeping the Alliance together if the fear of a threat were removed.
