Sir Charles Tupper's public career was long and successful. He was Canada's High Commissioner in Great Britain from 1884 to 1887, and later served as one of Sir John A. Macdonald's key lieutenants. In 1895, he returned from service as Canada's representative in Britain to take over the leadership of the Conservative party from Mackenzie Bowell, thus becoming Prime Minister of Canada. The Conservative Party was "dissatisfied" in Bowell's leadership because of the controversial Manitoba Schools Question. Tupper replaced Bowell on May 1, 1896 -- after the dissolution of the 7th Canadian Parliament but before the 1896 federal election. Despite his successes, Tupper's party lost the election and he never served as Prime Minister of a sitting parliament. He was in power for just 69 days, the shortest term ever for a Canadian Prime Minister. He was also the oldest, at the age of 74, to assume the office.

Tupper was also a notorious womanizer, his nickname 'The Ram of Cumberland' being believed to have a dual meaning. He allegedly seduced an older woman to pay for his doctorate, and was sued by his secretary while in his 70's. Rumours swirled about his paternity of a child and his advising the woman to have an abortion, although the case was eventually settled. There is evidence that during his retirement he had returned to monogamy.
