Sir Mackenzie Bowell began his career with lusty Orange prejudices, but by the 1880s his fighting spirit was subsumed within Conservative politics and his Orange positions had softened. According to the Toronto Globe, it was Bowell who succeeded in making the Orange order more friendly to Catholics. That tolerance was born of political necessity.
Mackenzie Bowell was prime minister of Canada for one term, from 1894 to 1896. He also had a long career in the House of Commons and the Senate. He was one of the few prime ministers to serve in that post from the Senate rather than from the House of Commons.
