Who is the first political leader you remember being in power in your lifetime? (1 Viewer)

I’m Canadian, so the first Prime Minister I remember is Stephen Harper. He was in leadership from 2006 to 2015. So I would have been 5 years old. I don’t remember anyone previous, probably because I wasn’t aware of these things at that age.​

Well i'm an 09 baby so I have brief knowledge of the Obama and Bush presidencies and remember being (weirdly) super political about not wanting Trump to win even as a kid in 2016 who didn't know shit about how terms and presidency worked

I was born during either Reagan's or Bush Sr's presidency (1986), but I only remember Bush. The first campaign I remember, though, was the time Clinton was elected.
