Well that's interesting!
A well-known publisher of anti-Semitic and far-right literature, Gostick ran twice for office in Ontario, coming last each time: in the 1945 federal election for Grey North as the Social Credit candidate, and in the 1948 Ontario general election for Glengarry under the Union of Electors banner. He was the son of Edith Gostick, who was one of the four Alberta Social Credit MLAs elected in Calgary in the 1935 general election.
