Mount Mackenzie King (British Columbia)
Much like the $50 bill, this B.C. mountain honours Mackenzie King, Canada’s longest serving prime minister. Probably the biggest black mark against King is his anti-semitism. In addition to King’s open admiration for Nazi Germany during the 1930s, he was against admitting Jewish refugees from Europe. “We must nevertheless seek to keep this continent free from unrest and from too great an intermixture of foreign strains of blood,” he wrote in a 1938 diary entry.
