Only 39 years old when he became Prime Minister in 1979, Joe Clark was only the leader of the country for a short 8 months.
He didn’t have much time to accomplish much – only to put together a budget proposal that didn’t go over well and ended up with a vote that gave the position back to Pierre Trudeau.
