As Prime Minister, Pearson's government created universal health care and the Canada Pension Plan. They also created the Canada Student Loan Program, the Order of Canada, and changed the flag of Canada to the one with maple leaves. Pearson kept Canada from fighting in the Vietnam War and "de facto" stopped capital punishment from being used in Canada. Many people think he is one of the most important Canadians of the 20th century.
