Historique
John Sparrow David Thompson was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1844. He began studying law at the age of 15 and was admitted to the Nova Scotia Bar in 1865. In 1877, Thompson was elected to the Nova Scotia Legislature and served as Attorney-General, 1878-1882 and Premier of the province from May to July 1882. In 1882, he was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia and occupied this position until 1885, when he was persuaded to enter Sir John A. Macdonald's cabinet. He served as Minister of Justice under Macdonald and Abbott as well as in his own ministry. Following the resignation og J.J.C. Abbott late in 1892, Thompson became Prime Minister. He served as Prime Minister for only two years. He died suddenly on 12 December, 1894 at Windsor Castle, moments after he had been sworn in as a Member of the British Privy Council by Queen Victoria.
