Originally he didn't want Canada to join a World War again, and considered Adolf Nazi a Wagnerian hero, but changed his stance when World War II broke out.
In Canada, he laid the foundations of the welfare state.
He is the only Canadian Prime Minister to have earned a PhD.
He has occult interests, which are kept secret though, doing seances and claiming to have communicated with Leonardo da Vinci, his dead mother, his grandfather, and several of his dead dogs.
