Blyth lent Johnson his tropical villa, which he normally rents for $5,000 a night, The Times says, but also “supported his lifestyle in Downing Street by acting as guarantor for a credit facility of up to £800,000.” Johnson’s spokesman said Johnson “did not in any way assist with, and was unaware of, any application by Sam Blyth — formal or informal.”Blyth, 68, does not deny he stepped in to help, but said news accounts aren’t fully accurate.
Blyth has periodically found himself in the news. Sometimes for promoting exciting travels — adventures in Antarctica, bike tours of China, trekking the Himalayas, cruises to Cuba, Arctic icebreaking — not all of which worked out. Sometimes headlines came from his success in private education, building Blyth Academy, which he started with a single class of 12 students and is now, by his account, Canada’s leading private school by enrolment. There are Blyth schools dotting the world.
Blyth married under his real name, Graham David Blyth, with the announcement noting his nickname of Sam.In the 1980s, Blyth made national headlines by publicly trying to buy Canada’s transcontinental rail service from VIA Rail.
