Ottawa Scenes – The Longest-Serving Canadian Prime Minister

William Lyon Mackenzie King (1874–1950) served as Prime Minister of Canada for a long period, 21 years in total (1921–1926, 1926–1930, 1935–1948). He was the one who introduced old-age pensions (Old Age Security) and unemployment insurance. The statue here is of him. This statue of his is located outdoors, near the Canadian Senate building in Ottawa.
