Soon afterward he was chosen leader of the party, and became Premier in 1900, by which time he was living at Winnipeg (in 1906 he was of Garry Street). He was knighted in 1912.

In 1900, he succeeded Hugh John Macdonald as Premier, taking also the two important cabinet posts of Minister of Agriculture and Railway Commissioner. Rodmond Roblin himself was strongly opposed to women's suffrage, and there was a very public feud between himself and the suffragist leader Nellie McClung. Roblin was similarly unwilling to make dramatic changes to labour relations, or even to take steps to ensure that existing labour standards were properly enforced. --Library and Archives Canada: Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online: HARRIS, JOSEPH ... in July 1897 Harris joined with several other merchants, including Rodmond Palen Roblin, Samuel A.

Notes:
Fred Roblin living as Lodger with them in 1901 census born Sep 29 1878 in Ontario
David, known by friends as DW or Wilz, followed his brother Rodmond to Manitoba from Prince Edward County, in 1882, and took up residence at the house built by Rodmond in Carman. DW was not on the 1881 Manitoba census, but appeared on the 1891 census with his wife and three older children. In addition a lodger and servant are also listed. DW accumulated a number of farms in the Carman area, although the source of the money to purchase these farms is unknown as he was not known to have ever done any real work. According to Gene Abbott, a daughter of one of DW's tenants, DW was also a money lender, apparently common in a era of few banks. Most of his farms were lost during the depression of the 1930's, and only a single farm remained at his death. Bessie and Myrtle jointly inherited the estate, although Myrtle gave up her share to Bessie, which included the farm and family house in Carman. This farm was later sold by Bessie, and the house probably also sold, or gifted, to her cousin Olive and her husband Will Murray.

Notes:
He is probably best-known for his role in urging, against considerable opposition, the construction of the Red River Floodway, which since its completion in 1968 has repeatedly saved the city from flooding, and is considered a model of its kind. He is the author of Speaking for Myself: Politics and Other Pursuits (Winnipeg, 1999)
Education:
an elite private school, but family finances suffered during The Depression and he had to change schools.
Education:
for Grades 10 and 11
Education:
He dropped out of the University of Manitoba after a year and instead enrolled in a local business college before heading south to take courses at the business school of the University of Chicago.
Education:
Eventually, he moved back to Winnipeg to study for a diploma in agriculture at U of M. Equipped with this motley assortment of courses and qualifications, he made an appointment with the president of the U of M and proposed that he had fulfilled the requirements for a university degree. The president begged to differ and quickly showed young Mr. Roblin the door.
Military:
When the Second World War erupted in 1939, he enlisted in the Canadian Army as a private. Longing to become a pilot, he took private flying lessons and achieved a transfer in the spring of 1940 to the fledgling Royal Canadian Air Force. His eyesight wasn't good enough for him to qualify as a pilot, but he was shipped overseas as a junior officer in 1942 in a tactical and operations unit. Deeply involved in the tactical planning for D-Day, he landed in Normandy on June 30, 1944, and helped chase the retreating Axis forces through France into Holland, all the way to Hamburg, Germany. By the time he was demobilized in 1946, he had the rank of a wing commander in the RCAF.
Occupation:
to June 29 1986
Occupation:
Appointed by Pierre Trudeau
Obituary:
Province loses 'tremendous premier'
Roblin hailed as visionary leader
Duff Roblin, Manitoba's 14th premier from 1958 to 1967, died Sunday evening.
The Greatest Manitoban died late Sunday afternoon almost at the moment that Duff's Ditch was once again rescuing Winnipeg
Duff Roblin, our 14th premier from 1958 to 1967, died about 6 p.m. Sunday in Victoria General Hospital with his daughter Jennifer by his side, said Roblin's longtime friend Bill Neville.
Roblin, who would have turned 93 next month, will be forever remembered for relentlessly pursuing and achieving his vision of a floodway to carry the Red River around the city of Winnipeg, a quest he launched as an opposition backbencher shortly after the devastating 1950 flood.
Sunday afternoon was one of the countless times the floodway has been operated to avert possible disaster after near-record rainfall this weekend unleashed torrents of water into the Red.
When the Winnipeg Free Press published The Greatest Manitobans book in 2008, the province's citizens named Roblin as our Greatest Manitoban.
Roblin was ridiculed mercilessly in the early 1950s, recalled Neville: "It was unnecessary, it wouldn't work, or it would cost too much, or all three."
Roblin went on to become premier in 1958, the promise of a floodway one of his key election planks. And Roblin lived every politician's dream of being derided, struggling, and eventually being vindicated, said Neville.
Vindicated indeed.
Flood-threatened communities from all over North America come here to study Duff's Ditch, provincial flood forecaster Alf Warkentin said Sunday.
The floodway was ready for the ominous 1969 flood, Warkentin said. "We've had about 10 serious floods that the floodway has protected the city from," none more potentially catastrophic than the 1997 Flood of the Century.
"It's a great loss
Obituary:
THE HONOURABLE DUFF ROBLIN PC, CC, OM, LLD, DCL 1917 - 2010 Following a brief illness, Duff Roblin died peacefully in the late afternoon of May 30, 2010 at the Victoria Hospital. He is survived by his wife Mary; his son Andrew of Emmaus, Pennsylvania, his former daughter-in-law Patricia, and grandchildren Lily and Rachel; his daughter Jennifer of Toronto (Craig Lathrop), grandchildren Sian, Bronwen, and Euan; his sister Marcia of Barrie, Ontario and his brother Rod of Winnipeg; and numerous nieces and nephews. Born June 17, 1917 in Winnipeg, the son of Charles D. and Sophia May Roblin and the grandson of Sir R. P. Roblin, Premier of Manitoba from 1900 to 1915, Duff Roblin was educated in Winnipeg schools and studied at the University of Manitoba and the University of Chicago. He was first elected to the Manitoba Legislature as an Independent Progressive Conservative in 1949 and was re-elected in five subsequent general elections. Chosen leader of the Progressive Conservative Party in 1954, he was elected premier in 1958, which office he held until he retired from office in 1967. The reform, improvement and expansion of the educational system in all its aspects was his first priority and was the achievement from which he derived the greatest satisfaction. However, his initiative in advocating and building the Red River Floodway, and the Floodway's subsequent positive impact, caught the public imagination in an enduring way and, became an important element of his legacy as a public man. In 2001, the Floodway was declared a National Historic Site in recognition of it as an outstanding example of Canadian engineering and technology and in recognition of its broader significance in humankind's age-old struggle to find accommodation with nature. Appointed to the Senate in 1978, he was an active member until 1992. He served as Leader of the Government in the Senate from 1984 to 1986. Following his retirement he chaired an important provincial commission on post-secondary education in which he returned to the over-riding focus of his whole public life. There will be a private funeral service. A Book of Condolence will be open in the rotunda of the Manitoba Legislature. Flowers are gratefully declined. Those wishing to commemorate his life and career may wish to consider donations to the Duff Roblin Scholarship Fund at the University of Winnipeg, the Duff Roblin Professorship at the University of Manitoba or the Duff Roblin Fellowship Fund at the University of Manitoba.
