Canada's shortest-serving Prime Minister in modern history, John Turner held the top job for just 79 days in 1984—barely enough time to redecorate the office. The former Liberal golden boy served as Justice and Finance Minister under Trudeau before his blink-and-you-missed-it stint as PM, then stuck around as Opposition Leader because politicians never know when to exit gracefully. At 91, Turner has outlasted most of his political rivals, proving that even a brief turn at Canada's helm comes with impressive longevity perks.
