D. (John Sparrow David), Sir, 1844-1894 : Prime Minister of Canada (1892-94).
John Sparrow David Thompson was born at Halifax, Nova Scotia on 10 November 1845. He apprenticed as a lawyer, practiced in Halifax and served on local bodies.
Thompson was elected to the provincial legislature in 1878 as a Conservative in the riding of Antigonish. He served as attorney general in the cabinet of Simon Holmes, who he succeeded as premier in May 1882, only to lose the provincial election in June. He then served on the province's Supreme Court and helped found Dalhousie University's law school.
Sir John A. Macdonald made Thompson federal minister of justice in September 1885, just before he was elected to parliament for the riding of Antigonish. Thompson acted as Macdonald's deputy, but refused an opportunity to succeed him in 1891. He continued as attorney general in Sir John Abbott's cabinet, investigating corruption and overseeing the publication of the first Criminal Code.
Thompson succeeded Abbott in December 1892. He rejuvenated the ageing cabinet, helped adjudicate Canadian-American sealing rights in the Bering Sea, and tried to resolve the Manitoba Schools Question.
Thompson endorsed the federal government's systematically racist relationship with Indigenous Peoples, which caused tremendous ongoing trauma, displacement, disenfranchisement and exclusion. Specifically, Thompson was key to defeating an 1886 parliamentary motion expressing regret for Louis Riel's execution. He argued that Riel had received a fair trial and appropriate punishment for inciting Indigenous Peoples to wage war against Canada and kill settlers. To Thompson, this justified the government's immense power to protect settlers and punish those who resisted the federal state.
In 1998, the minister of Indian and northern affairs issued a 'Statement of Reconciliation' for centuries of mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples, including the execution of Louis Riel.
Thompson was knighted in 1888. He married Annie Affleck in 1870. Thompson died suddenly on 12 December 1894 during lunch at Windsor Castle. He is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery, Halifax.Information additionnelle :Note générale :The papers of Sir John Thompson were received by the National Archives in 1949 from his son, Lt. Col. John Thompson. A scrapbook of newspaper clippings (volume 299) concerning Thompson's death was transferred from the Department of Justice in 1968. A number of Commissions and letters of appointment were received from his granddaughter Aloise Cameron of Rockliffe in 1971 and from her children, Ann Mitchell of North Hatley, Quebec and Douglas Cameron of Rockliffe in 1996 (volumes 300, 302-313). Additional material donated by Douglas Cameron in 2005 (volumes 316-320).Note(s) sur le contenant :C-11061 : Finding aidVedette-matière :- Sealing - Bering Sea
