Arthur Meighen

Canada's 9th PM in the 13th and 15th Parliaments. Faced the original reckless coalition. Lost by one vote and they won't let me forget it.

I was surprised to see my photograph on the television today and then I saw the reason why. It is not a good reason. https://t.co/ho7gOm4Rky @EricGrenierCBC #HappyNewYear

Since a few of you need to brush up on the Westminster system — and since I'm feeling nostalgic for a more innocent time on this accursed platform — here are a few verses I call “The Affair” ⚡️

Oh, Mr. Higgs. You ought to know better.

[Brett Ruskin @Brett_CBC]

After Gallant says HE’S going to form government, Blaine Higgs says: “As with any race, it’s the one who has the most numbers who wins. We plan on being the minority government, starting tomorrow.”

Perhaps they should consider naming more schools after less controversial, often overlooked prime ministers. *straightens tie* https://t.co/yy2cGZm7oF

He's considered Canada's founding father, but many Ontario teachers want his name stripped from public schools https://t.co/5fBm8kQj7T #hw…

But seriously, what's the deal with margarine? https://t.co/elPQWYQVca

[Adam Coombs @acoombs14]

There is an entire file in @ArthurMeighen fonds at @LibraryArchives relating to correspondence about margarine. #cdnpoli #cdnhistory

@PMMackenzieKing @JustinTrudeau Must be nice.

[Arthur Meighen @ArthurMeighen]

"…a huge nerd." "Quite possibly the biggest loser in Canadian history."
It's a fair cop.

Uhhhhhhhhhh so @lin_manuel and @JustinTrudeau are at the White House at the same time what's gonna happen

[Arthur Meighen @ArthurMeighen]

I have no opinion on 24 Sussex as, like every prime minister before St. Laurent, I never lived there (nor would I have had time to move in).

[Arthur Meighen @ArthurMeighen]

I am looking through my personal papers looking for clippings of foreign newspapers calling me "doable." I am coming up empty so far.

[Arthur Meighen @ArthurMeighen]

My thoughts are with @PMLaurier today. Don't worry, sometimes people misspell my name, too. You know, when they bother. #wilfred

[Trendsmap Canada @TrendsmapCanada]

'wilfred' is now trending in Canada http://t.co/oLlm55D5s6

Justin Trudeau disagrees with dad, agrees with Harper about minority rule http://t.co/8HmmSeuGrF #cdnpoli #exln42

[Arthur Meighen @ArthurMeighen]

.@nspector4 King retained power without holding a plurality of seats (or even a seat of his own) and without forming a coalition. GG appoved
