Summary:
Bill
Davis
, Premier of Ontario from 1971 to 1985, who carried on a Tory dynasty, but was also a crucial Trudeau supporter. He was indispensable in repatriating the Canadian Constitution with an accompanying Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Before he became premier,
Davis
was perhaps the most important education minister in Ontario history, responsible for the creation of the community college system and TVOntario. As premier, he went on to lead Ontario through buoyant and recessionary economic times, leaving a legacy Ontarians continue to enjoy. Now 87,
Davis
still lives on Main Street in his beloved Brampton.
