History
C.D. Howe trained as an engineer, and was responsible for building many grain elevators across western Canada, but is best remembered for being the Liberal MP for Port Arthur and serving in federal Cabinet from 1935 to 1957. Often known as the "Minister of Everything," from his role in shaping production and the Canadian economy during WWII.
