Mackenzie Bowell

Sir Mackenzie Bowell was a Canadian newspaper publisher and politician who served as the fifth Prime Minister of Canada, from 1894-1896. 
Bowell served as Minister of Customs in Sir John A. Macdonald's cabinet from 1878, and remained in the cabinets of Sir John Abbott and Sir John Thompson as Minister of Militia and Defence, and Minister of Trade and Commerce.
After Thompson's unexpected death, Bowell was selected by the Governor General to be the next prime minister. Bowell's tenure was dominated by the Manitoba Schools Question. Bowell's attempts at solving the problem were ineffective, leading to his ouster in favour of Sir Charles Tupper. Tupper was subsequently defeated in the next election by Wilfrid Laurier's Liberal Party.
