Canadian Press: Presumptive u.s and Kim Campbell

canadian press: That woman, of course, is Kim Campbell, according to National Observer. The former Progressive Conservative prime minister spoke to The Canadian Press earlier in the week about women in politics, including presumptive U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and what it is like to be the only woman whose portrait is hanging in the gallery of Canadian prime ministers. Here in Canada, a woman has already risen to the highest office in the land, Obama told the House of Commons. Every once in a while, Campbell said, someone on Twitter decides to tell her she was only prime minister for about five minutes. It was actually four months, from June 25 to Nov. 3, 1993, and if anyone is really counting, she points out her 131-day term was neither the shortest nor the second-shortest as far as Canadian prime ministers go.
