Political career

Halladay began his political career on the municipal level, serving as mayor of Hanna, Alberta, from 1913 to 1918.[2]

While still mayor he ran for a seat in the Canadian House of Commons in the 1917 Canadian federal election. In that election he ran as the Unionist coalition candidate. He defeated three other candidates by a comfortable margin including future Alberta MLA Daniel Galbraith to take the new seat.[3] Halladay served as a Member of Parliament for a single term before retiring at dissolution in 1921.

gollark: Giving one company access to people's accurate location history, conversations, emails and whatnot could probably lead to problems.
gollark: Presumably, somewhat creepy overtargeted advertising, spread it further (which I don't really like in itself), probably (if I was weird and still used Google stuff on my phone) listen into my conversations.
