Well that's interesting!
Nolin, Manitoba Métis, father of 20 children, and political rival of Louis Riel, sat nearly five years from 1874 as the MLA for Ste Anne in the new province's legislative assembly. Later moving to present-day Saskatchewan, he was elected at age 54 as the MLA for Batoche in the legislative assembly of the North-West Territories, but his election was contested two months later and Charles-Eugène Boucher, who was half his age at 27, replaced him.
