Biography

Born in Montreal, Quebec, he was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1945 election as a Member of the Liberal Party to represent the riding of St. James. He was re-elected in 1949 in St. James, and 1953 and 1957 in Saint-Jacques.[1]

Involvement in sports

Beaudry was also a sports broadcaster and an amateur ice hockey player, a goaltender, and a member of the 1927 Montreal Victorias ice hockey team that toured Europe and played against teams in Sweden (Stockholm), France, Germany, Austria (Vienna), Switzerland (Davos), Italy (Milan) and England. Also a recreational tennis player there was a story retold in the February 23, 1935 issue of the Montreal Gazette where Beaudry during a banquet in Stockholm had agreed to play tennis against one Mr. Gay ("Mr. G") the next morning, but Beaudry slept in the next morning after a late night out the previous day, apparently unaware of that "Mr. Gay" was in fact the Swedish king Gustaf V.[2]

gollark: I mean, there was not really any information provided, I'm filling it in guessily.

gollark: Not phrased that way, but you know.

gollark: I made a hatchery which stopped sickness (kind of) by taking out eggs at unsafe view levels, and TJ09 just decided "this goes against the grand vision, I must stop it".

gollark: Removing sickness is probably *easier* than keeping it, but it goes against the Grand TJ09 Vision.

gollark: As long as DC has sickness and a system of view-an-image-to-hatch/sicken-stuff, it will not be possible to prevent viewbombing, outside of weird edge cases.
