Hugh John Macdonald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sir Hugh John Macdonald, BA (March 13, 1850 – March 29, 1929) was the only surviving son of Sir John A. Macdonald and was a politician in his own right, serving as a member of the Canadian House of Commons and a federal cabinet minister, and briefly as premier of Manitoba.

Cameron in Winnipeg South, and was sworn in as Premier on January 10, 1900. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hugh_John_Macdonald

Dictionary of Canadian Biography Thompson did not seek to convince the house by declamation or sounding phrases, but by the force of his facts, by the reasonableness of what he was saying, and by his transparent fairness. Thompson’s two eldest girls, Mary Aloysia, “Babe” as she was known, and Mary Helena, he sent to the academy for young ladies run by the Religious of the Sacred Heart at Sault-au-Récollet (Montreal North), so that they would learn French properly, something he had set himself to work on after he came to Ottawa. Thompson’s intensity, and Annie’s willingness to countenance it, seems to have been disconcerting to her family and some of their courting was carried on clandestinely. www.biographi.ca /EN/ShowBioPrintable.asp?BioId=40584

MHS Transactions: Old Man's Son When Abbott resigned, Sir John Thompson pleaded with Hugh John to withhold his resignation until the winter of 1892.[42] Hugh did so, but at the end of that session he informed the sergeant-at-arms that fie would not be back.[43] When the next session opened, however, Hugh again found himself in parliament. Hugh John refused for personal reasons and because the government was bound to redress the grievance of Manitoba's Catholics.[48] In January 1896 Bowell's cabinet bolted because of the Prime Minister's vacillation on the school question. At the opening of Hugh John's first day on the bench, 16 December 1911, Isaac Campbell, his old opponent back in 1891, expressed approval of the appointment on behalf of the Law Society of Manitoba. www.mhs.mb.ca /docs/transactions/3/oldmansson.shtml

Thompson-Speeches-House of Commons, March 6, 1893-First Among Equals Blake, and Sir John took pains to declare that, while the terms of that resolution, taken alone, might seem to be ambiguous, he accepted it in the sense in which it was put forward in the lucid argument by which Mr. A railway constructed under the authority of the Manitoba Government claimed the right to cross a railway constructed by the Federal Government, and the constitutional question was raised as to their right to force a connection with a railway which was under the authority of this Parliament by the terms of our statute. It was then the Manitoba Railway question now it is the Manitoba Educational question, and what we did was to submit to His Excellency that he should lay before the court a case upon which the rights of all parties concerned should be decided before we made any rule, or before we made any decision. www.collectionscanada.ca /primeministers/h4-4091-e.html

Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online Tupper was the main Canadian delegate, and technically Thompson was only a legal adviser; but Tupper was not a lawyer, just a knowledgeable, noisy politician, and he needed someone like Thompson who knew the legal side. It was not that Thompson did not want to see a Canadian nation, but he believed the moment Canada was independent of British protection, she would be taken over by the United States. He was appointed at once, by Sir John A. Macdonald, to the Supreme Court. www.biographi.ca /EN/ShowBio.asp?BioId=40584
