How are you guys even doing this? I can't remember more than 10 and that goes without any dates.
I could have done this perfectly in grade 5 but that information has long exited my brain.

I'm unbelievably embarrassed by my lack on knowledge. Not just on the prime minister one either. I did a bunch and blew them all. Wow, out of school for a year and I'm near edmontonian levels.

i actually enjoyed some of the other ones more. Like the US states (got 44) or the periodic table.

I missed 5, kicking myself over two, but after seeing the answers I never went "ohhhh yeah stupid me"
Three of them were 3 of the 4 from 1881-1886

I missed most of the late 1800s (Abbott, Thompson, Bowell, Tupper), Meighen, and Louis St. Laurent. I should have known Laurent since he's much more recent but I honestly have no idea who he is. I'm a little embarassed about that.
I was surprisingly brutal at the US states one. I only got about 60% of them before I quit. Did a bit better at Europe, about 75%. Periodic table? I only got about 15 of them. 
Good find!

I got 20...everyone who's on a piece of currency and everyone since Dief the Chief.
The only one who doesn't fit into one of those categories was Mackenzie. I knew there was one named Mackenzie, but I couldn't have told you when he served.
Sadly, I think I'd do better with US Presidents (William Henry Harrison..."I died in 30 days").
-----
EDIT: Nope, 30/43 Presidents (70%) compared to 20/27 PMs (74%).
I did get perfect on the English Alpha Code words though.

It's so lame that you need to spell Jean Chretien as Jean Chrétien. Wasted so much time wondering what was wrong with my spelling.

???? Abbott Thompson Bowell Tupper ????
I've at least heard of Meighan and R. B. Bennett, but forgot them. Glad I didn't spend the full 10 minutes on that, because I never would have guessed any of the 6 I missed.

You're sitting there staring at the map at a big state thinking "how the hell can I forget a larger state after getting states like Delaware...".
