maybe the last term of Canadian PM was a woman Kim Campbell. Suffered single worst political defeat in Canadian history. First woman Prime Minister of Canada 25 June - 4 November 1993. craigmarlatt.com However the Conservative mandate to govern had expired and Campbell had to call an election for October 1993. She was unable to overcome her party's nine-year legacy and bore the brunt of voters' dissatisfaction with free trade, the GST, the constitutional fiascos and the economic recession. The Conservatives suffered an extraordinary defeat, reduced to just two seats in the House of Commons. Campbell herself lost her Vancouver seat - the first time a sitting prime minister has done so. She returned to academia, accepting a fellowship at Harvard.
