Sir Mackenzie Bowell
Sir Mackenzie Bowell was the fifth prime minister of Canada. He held
office for sixteen months, between 1894 and 1896, before a revolt in his
cabinet forced him to resign. “With considerable force of character but no
special capacity in administration, he was unable either to command the
respect of his colleagues or to avoid committing his government to a
politically dangerous question of public funding for religious schools in
Manitoba” (Smith, R. 1974. p.145). …showed first 75 words of 1340 total…

Conservative leader in the Senate until 1906. He did not forgive his
rebellious colleagues, even when some of them joined him in the Senate. In
1905 he reasserted in a speech that they had been, “a nest of traitors.” Even
in his retirement in 1906 struck bitter note. The Conservative senators
elected one senator to succeed Bowell, but not before another senator had
been led by Bowell to expect the position.
