Well that's interesting!
An American citizen who was well respected in North York, Ontario, Dodge had not been a resident in Canada long enough to qualify for naturalisation, let alone run for a seat in Parliament. But an act of Parliament was passed in June 1872, allowing him to naturalise, and he was elected the following month. He served a single term as a Conservative.
