The 2021 Canadian federal election will be taking place on September 20, and at that time, the next Prime Minister will be determined. This is a good time to look back at some of Canada’s past Prime Ministers and the impact they have had on the nation.
The Special Collection: The Chronicles of Canada includes a wealth of information about Canada’s early history. Volume 28, The Fathers of Confederation, A Chronicle of the Birth of the Dominion talks about how Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper, the first and sixth Prime Ministers, along with others, brought about the confederacy of Canada.
Volume 29 of this collection, The Day of Sir John Macdonald: A Chronicle of The First Prime Minister of the Dominion, is focussed specifically on Macdonald. Volume 30, The Day of Sir Wilfrid Laurier: A Chronicle of Our Own Time tells the story of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, seventh Prime Minister, depicted on the magazine cover shown above.
Another interesting item in our library is The Message of the Carillon And Other Addresses, a collection of speeches by William Lyon Mackenzie King, tenth Prime Minister, who served three non-consecutive terms.
