Well that's interesting!
Elected as the Progressive Conservative MLA for St. Vital in 1969, Hardy's time in the Manitoba legislature was brief and he was absent from the province for much of 1970. He was quoted as saying, "I have to earn a living, and in Manitoba, it is totally impossible for a politician to do it solely in politics." In February 1971, he resigned the seat he had won by only 23 votes, and his NDP opponent, James Walding, won it in the by-election held in April.
