Synopsis

Arthur Meighen, Canada’s ninth prime minister, was the greatest debater in Canadian history. He led Canada twice as prime minister, yet both periods of time were brief against the crafty William Lyon Mackenzie King. He dominated his opponents with razor-sharp wit, conviction, and a photographic memory. Out of all Canada’s prime ministers, he was truly unbeatable in debate. Yet for all his skills in winning arguments, he didn’t win the hearts of Canadians. Find out more about this fascinating Canadian in Arthur Meighen: A Way with Words.
