The Duke of Kent : a memoir

McKeough, W. Darcy 1933- (author.). McQueen, Rod, 1944- (author.). Mulroney, Brian, 1939- (writer of foreword.). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm), (distributor.).

Summary: "Few Canadians have served their nation as well and as widely as the Honourable Darcy McKeough. He was elected Member of Provincial Parliament for Chatham Kent, Ontario, five times between 1963 and 1977. In 1967 he was mockingly dubbed the Duke of Kent by an opposition MPP, a title he has worn as a badge of honour ever since. As Treasurer of Ontario, Minister of Municipal Affairs, and Minister of Energy during his time in office, McKeough fought to achieve budget surpluses long before it was fashionable, created regional governments that brought more efficient services to citizens, and attempted to tame Ontario Hydro."--Publisher's description.
