Biography

Tolmie was born in Lindsay, Ontario and served in World War II as an Avro Lancaster navigator. He became a lawyer in Welland, Ontario where he was an alderman from 1957 to 1964. After this, he entered federal politics winning a seat at the Welland riding in the 1965 general election. Tolmie was re-elected there in 1968, then left federal politics in 1972 after completing his term in the 28th Canadian Parliament.

From October 1971 to September 1972, Tolmie was Parliamentary Secretary to Ron Basford, the Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs at that time.

After an undisclosed illness, Tolmie died at his home in Pelham, Ontario on 18 March 2009.[1]

gollark: What?
gollark: Yes, there is (I don't think it's fully reliable though), but they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
gollark: They literally added code to their drivers to make consumer cards' drivers not function in VMs, so that people would have to buy more expensive cards for no good reason.
gollark: Well, thanks to AMD being less evil, on Linux the drivers are just built into the kernel or something and work with basically no hassle.
gollark: Nvidia's drivers are worse. They try and push you into this "GeForce Experience" thing or something, work poorly on Linux, and deliberately don't work in VMs because Nvidia is Nvidia.
