William Lyon Mackenzie King

William Lyon Mackenzie King

William Lyon Mackenzie King was Canada's longest serving Prime Minister. He was leader of the Liberal party for 29 years and Prime Minister for a total of 22 years, and steered Canada through the Second World War, yet he had a well-kept secret. Forever a bachelor Mackenzie was a spiritualist who kept in contact with his long departed mother. He often attended two seances a week when he was in Britain, and communicated with other dead relatives, with his predecessor, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, with the late President Franklin Roosevelt, and even with Pat, his departed Irish terrier. Today, you can still encounter him and his mother should you visit Laurier House in Ottawa.
