Histórico
Arthur Meighen (1874-1960) was born at Anderson, Perth County, Ontario. He was educated at St. Mary's Collegiate and in law at the University of Toronto, graduating in 1896. He was first elected to the House of Commons in 1908 and entered Sir Robert L. Borden's cabinet in 1913. After serving in various cabinet posts, Meighen became Prime Minister upon Borden's retirement in 1920. His government was defeated in the election of 1921. He again formed a government for a short time in 1926, but was defeated in the general election later that year. He was appointed to the Senate in 1932 and led the Conservative Party again for a short time from November 1941 to the end of 1942. Meighen pursued a distinguished business career as President and general counsel of Canadaian General Securities Ltd., President of the London and Western Trust Company and a holder of various other directorships. He died at his home in Toronto in 1960.
