Notice biographique
Charles Tupper was born in Amherst, N.S. After attending Horton Academy he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh (M.D. 1843) and practiced in Amherst until 1855. He was first elected to the N ova Scotia Assembly in 1855 and served as Provincial Secretary, 1856-1860, 1863-1867, and as Premier, 1864-1867.
He was instrumental in bringing Nova Scotia into Confederation and was elected to Canada's first parliament in 1867. In federal politics Tupper, besides serving as Prime Minister, held six different cabinet portfolios. He was also Canada's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and occupied that position almost continuously from 1884 until 1896. In 1896, he returned from England and, in an attempt to solve the leadership problem in the Conservative Party replaced Bowell as Prime Minister. In the 1896 election, the Liberals were victorious and from 1896-1901 Tupper served as Leader of the Opposition.
After the 1901 election he retired from active political life and settled in England. He died at Bexley Heath on 30 October 1915 at the age of 94.
