Sir Charles Tupper (2 July 1821 - 30 October 1915) was a Canadian politician and father of Confederation who, as premier, led the colony of Nova Scotia into Confederation. Following the passage of the British North America Act, 1867, Tupper served in multiple cabinet posts in Sir John A. Macdonald's government, before being appointed Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom from 1883 to 1895. With the failure of Mackenzie Bowell's government to resolve the Manitoba Schools Question, Tupper was invited to return to federal politics and the government was dissolved for an election prior to his being sworn in. Tupper was defeated by Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Liberals.
Tupper served as leader of the opposition from 1896 until 1900, resigning from the leadership of the Conservative Party after losing his own seat. Robert Borden was subsequently chosen to lead the party.
