William Lyon Mackenzie
(March 12, 1795 – August 28, 1861) also spelt McKenzie and MacKenzie, was a Scottish-born Canadian-American journalist and politician. After growing up in Scotland he emigrated to Upper Canada and became a publisher in York. He was elected to the 10th Parliament of Upper Canada as one of the legislators from York. Although declaring himself an independent legislator he allied with Reform politicians and worked to undermine and investigate Tory politicians and members of the Family Compact. This caused him to be expelled numerous times from the Legislator as Tory politicians did not support his work. He brought grievances from Upper Canada citizens to the Colonial Office in London, England which caused the colonial secretary to advocate limited reforms in the colony.
