Canada's longest serving prime minister and perhaps its shrewdest political tactician, William Lyon Mackenzie King was prime minister for over twenty-one years in three separate terms of office, 1921-1926, 1926-1930, and 1935-1948.
King became Minister of Labour in 1909, and party leader in 1919. He rebuilt the Liberal Party, led the nation in the Second World War, and prepared for postwar economic expansion. He died in retirement on July 22, 1950, at his beloved home "Kingsmere" near Ottawa.
