There was also an Alexander Mackenzie who was an explorer. Can somebody write something on him? -- Zoe

There was another one who was a violinist and head of the Royal Academy of Music for about 40 years. Not as good as being head of Canada, but still... I guess a disambiguation block, or a disambig page is the order of the day. --Camembert

I added A.M. the explorer, but since I know nothing of the violinist I will leave him to you, Camembert, or to another party to volunteer later. - Montréalais

[edit] Rt. Hon. ?

I am wondering, why did Mackenzie not have the title of "The Right Honourable" since he was the Prime Minister, shouldn't this title have been automatic ? Is this an error or vandalism - or is there some reason. I realize that he did not accept British Knighthood but that has nothing to do with the Rt. Hon. title.

"Alexander Mackenzie declined all offers of a British knighthood because of his Scottish heritage." This is a rather puzzling statement, and perhaps deserves an explanation. Plently of Scots receive knighthoods, so it is not obvious what this means.
