 <b>Richardb> Bedford Bennett, 1st Viscount Bennett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
<b>Richardb> Bennett retired to Britain in 1938, and, in 1941, became the first, and only, former Canadian Prime Minister to be elevated to the British House of Lords (as Viscount Bennett), of Mickleham, Surrey.
Bennett was born in Hopewell Hill, New Brunswick, Canada, and studied at Dalhousie University, graduating in 1893 with a law degree.
Bennett tried to fight the depression by expanding trade within the British Empire and imposing tariffs for imports from outside the Empire promising that his measures would blast Canadian exports into world markets, but his success was limited, and his impersonal style and reputation for wealth alienated many struggling Canadians.
