Mackenzie was born in Dundee, Scotland and immigrated to Upper Canada in 1820. From 1824 to 1834 he published the newspaper the Colonial Advocate in York, Upper Canada (now Toronto, Ontario), attacking the upper class clique known as the "Family Compact" which was in control of the government; and the Welland Canal company, in which many of the family compact, were directly involved.** ( **The main Welland Canal ports were named for 4 family compact members: Port Colborne, Port Robinson, Port Maitland and Port Dalhousie ) He used the newspaper as a forum for expressing the ideas of himself and his reform party. In response to this, fifteen young men from wealthy, well-known families of York raided his printing office, damaged his press, and threw cases of type into Lake Ontario in 1826. In 1828 he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada, but was expelled five times for libel, each time being re-elected. For other uses, see Dundee (disambiguation). ...
