John Morgan, a descendant of Alexander Mackenzie reached out to us and provided a Youtube video about his life.
Alexander Mackenzie was a self-educated stonemason who rose from humble beginnings in Scotland to become Canada’s second Prime Minister. He fought passionately for equality and parliamentary democracy and for the elimination of privilege and political corruption. A key nation builder of Canada, known and loved for his utmost integrity and honesty, his is a compelling story of duty and honour. This video was prepared to help celebrate Canada 150 and to raise awareness and appreciation of his life and times and his contributions to Canada.
Prepared initially for The Historical Society of Ottawa.
