Turner was ranked 18th out of the first 20 Prime Ministers of Canada (through [[Jean Chrétien]]) by a survey of Canadian historians in 1999. The survey was used in the book ''Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada's Leaders'' by [[J. L. Granatstein]] and [[Norman Hillmer]].<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Granatstein|first1=J.

His citation reads: <blockquote>He became Canada's seventeenth Prime Minister, crowning a distinguished parliamentary career during which he held several key Cabinet portfolios. Parallel to his political life, he has been a respected member of the law profession and supporter of many charitable organizations, in particular Mount Sinai Hospital and the Community Foundation of Toronto. His passion for his country is admired by all Canadians.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.gg.ca/honours/search-recherche/honours-desc.asp?lang=e&TypeID=orc&id=3402|title=Order of Canada|website=archive.gg.ca|access-date=August 26, 2010|archive-date=October 18, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018022835/http://archive.gg.ca/honours/search-recherche/honours-desc.asp?lang=e&TypeID=orc&id=3402|url-status=live}}</ref></blockquote> {{Infobox COA wide |image = Turner Escutcheon.png |escutcheon = Gules four canoe paddles their handles conjoined in cross between four canoes Or on a canton the mark of the Prime Ministership of Canada (Argent four maple leaves conjoined in cross at the stem Gules); |crest = Issuant from a coronet érablé Gules the rim bearing a frieze of alternating dogwood lily and trillium flowers all Argent a demi wolf Or charged on each shoulder with a poppy Gules seeded Sable and bearing in the dexter forepaw an ansul Gules; |supporters = On a grassy mound rising above barry wavy Argent and Azure set between two stems growing thereon roses Gules thistles and shamrocks Or and standing in front of river cedar trees Vert dexter a caribou buck Or gorged with a collar of river cedar branches Vert pendant therefrom the badge of a member of the House of Commons of Canada sinister a caribou doe Or gorged with a like collar pendant therefrom a medallion per bend barry wavy Azure and Argent and Vert; |motto = Esse Quam Videri (To Be Rather Than To Seem) <ref>{{cite web|url=http://reg.gg.ca/heraldry/pub-reg/project.asp?lang=e&ProjectID=1692&ShowAll=1|title=Turner, John Napier [Individual]|website=reg.gg.ca|access-date=December 30, 2018|archive-date=November 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181116002306/http://reg.gg.ca/heraldry/pub-reg/project.asp?lang=e&ProjectID=1692&ShowAll=1|url-status=live}}</ref>}}
