Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In 1899 Toronto, aspiring young politician Mackenzie King dreams of being the Prime Minister of Canada. As he hesitates in love between a British soldier and a French-Canadian nurse, King furtive indulges a fetishistic obsession that might well be his downfall. In his quest for power, King must gratify the expectations of his imperious mother, the hawkish fantasies of a war-mongering Governor-General, and the utopian idealism of a Québécois mystic before facing the final test of leadership. Finally, in an epic battle between good and evil. King learns that disappointment might be the only way to survive the 20th century. |

| Goofs | Two errors in Canadianisms: 1. Judges were (and still often are) addressed as "Your Worship" and not "Your Honour". 2. One cannot become Ambassador to the Bahamas if one comes from another Commonwealth Realm, like Canada. Canada would have had a High Commissioner in the Bahamas at the time. Presently, for budgetary and other reasons, it only has a Consulate, managed via Canada's Jamaican High Commission. See more » |

Mackenzie King: There's been a shortage of ladies' footwear at the Daughters of the Empire's temperance league, and I was asked... Dr. Milton Wakefield: [slaps King with boot] You're a disgusting backslider. See more » |
