		By the time the First World War began, Max Aitken had transformed himself from the somewhat shiftless son of a Presbyterian minister in New Brunswick, Canada to a wealthy newspaper baron with considerable influence in the highest levels of English politics and society.
		He made a series of recruiting speeches, and eventually secured for himself an appointment as "Canadian Eye Witness," with responsibility for reporting the activities of the Canadian Expeditionary Force to an eager public in Canada, and for superintending whatever records the CEF generated.
		A subsequent appointment as Canadian Military Representative at the front gave Aitken even greater access to the highest levels of military decision making, and his relationship with Canada's Minister of Militia and Defence, Sam Hughes, meant that Aitken wielded considerable influence in the running of the CEF.

		The analogy is interesting, but perhaps not entirely apt; Aitken did indeed engage in bribery, deceptive practices, and stock-watering, but in Canada he left behind several enduring enterprises, most notably the Steel Company of Canada, the byproduct of the last of his big mergers in 1910.
		Aitken’s successes, however, were also the result of a careful attention to the management of his enterprises, a characteristic that marked his larger Canadian mergers too.
		While Aitken might well have thrived in a different era, his particular legacy to Canadian industry and his reputation as a successful, if not wholly admirable, financial entrepreneur was shaped largely by the circumstances of his time.
