Person: CHARLES HIBBERT TUPPER
*Married, he contracted pneumonia in March 1927 and died on the 30th at his home in Vancouver; he was interred in Ocean View Burial Park, Burnaby.
*Tupper, the second son of Sir Charles Tupper, was a physician, leading Conservative politician, and a Canadian diplomat. The elder Charles Tupper served as premier of Nova Scotia, was a Canadian "FATHER OF CONFEDERATION", serving briefly as Canada's prime minister in 1896.
*Charles H. Tupper practised law in Halifax, Nova Scotia, after articling to learn the profession; at the time there was no formal legal education in Atlantic Canada. He formed a successful partnership with Wallace Graham, and the two invited the young Robert Borden, a future Canadian Prime Minister who was one year older than Tupper, to join them in the late 1870s. A decade later, Borden became the firm's senior partner after Graham was appointed a judge and Tupper entered politics.
*Charles H. Tupper's younger brother, William Johnston Tupper, also became a Conservative politician.
*He was elected as a Conservative MP in 1882, appointed Minister of Marine and Fisheries by Sir John A. Macdonald in 1888, keeping that position in subsequent Conservative cabinets until 1894, under PMs Sir John Abbott and Sir John Sparrow David Thompson.
*He then became the Minister of Justice in the government of Sir Mackenzie Bowell, attempting-without success-to resolve the Manitoba Schools Question by drafting a bill to restore Separate School education for Catholics in Manitoba. Tupper resigned in January 1896 to protest Bowell's leadership, which had largely failed on this question, among others. He returned as Solicitor General of Canada in the short-lived government of his father, who became prime minister later in 1896 after Bowell stepped down. Tupper Sr. was defeated in the 1896 Canadian federal election by liberal Wilfrid Laurier, who became prime minister. Tupper remained an MP until his retirement from politics in 1904.
*In 1893, while minister of Marine and Fisheries, involved in the Bering Sea Arbitration between the United States and Canada, he served as a representative of the British government, at that time responsible for Canadian foreign affairs. He was knighted in recognition for this service, which had produced a successful outcome for Canada.
*In 1897 he moved to Victoria, British Columbia, settling in 1898 in Vancouver; Charles H. continued as the Member of Parliament for Pictou, Nova Scotia; he was re-elected in 1900.
From 1898 he practised law in Vancouver, serving as a bencher of the Law Society of British Columbia. He represented Japanese-Canadians in a series of cases opposing discriminatory practices of the provincial government.
In 1923, he was involved in the creation of the short-lived Provincial Party of British Columbia.
