Well that's interesting!
Liberal Progressive premier of Manitoba from 1948 to 1958, Campbell holds the record for longest continuous service in the legislature: 46 years, 10 months, and 26 days. Although not a libertarian while in office, he was a lifelong believer in "small government." After retiring from politics in 1969, he was a supporter in the 1980s of the Confederation of Regions Party, and subsequently the Reform Party of Preston Manning.
