Well that's interesting!
Fish, a federal Progressive Conservative, was elected for his only term in Parliament in the short-lived Clark government. He suffered a heart attack durin the 1980 campaign and lost to the Liberal, James Schroder, who also served only one term before being defeated. Fish did not run for office again after his defeat and heart attack, and died in 2006 of complications following another heart attack.
