Children of the Prime Ministers of Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of children of the Prime Ministers of Canada. Seventeen out of Canada's twenty-two prime ministers are acknowledged to have fathered children, not including Wilfrid Laurier who was alleged to have fathered two illegitimate children with Émilie Lavergne. Kim Campbell, Canada's only female Prime Minister did not have any children of her own, but was a step-mother to Pamela, Judy, and Miriam Divinsky, her first husband Nathan Divinsky's daughters. Although she and Divinsky divorced in 1983 her step-daughter Pamela assisted on Campbell's campaign bus during the 1993 election.
