Well that's interesting!
Let us hope that a long political career wasn't Hellyer's lifelong dream, because three months after his election to the Ontario legislature in 1919, he was asked to vacate the seat to allow William Raney to win it in a by-election. His consolation prize was to be appointed to a special provincial commission on land title and civil service reform.
