Alexandre Thurber (April 2, 1871 – April 19, 1958) was an industrialist and political figure in Quebec. He represented Chambly in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1923 to 1931 and from 1935 to 1936 as a Liberal.
Quebec is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario and the bodies of water James Bay and Hudson Bay; to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay; to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador; and to the south by the province of New Brunswick and the U.S. states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia. Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger. It is historically and politically considered to be part of Central Canada.
Chambly is a provincial electoral district in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada. It includes the cities of Chambly and Saint-Basile-le-Grand.
The Legislative Assembly of Quebec was the name of the lower house of Quebec's legislature until December 31, 1968, when it was renamed the National Assembly of Quebec. At the same time, the upper house of the legislature, the Legislative Council, was abolished. Both were initially created by the Constitutional Act of 1791.
He was born in Montreal, the son of Alexandre Thurber and Émiline Davignon who was the daughter of Pierre Davignon. Thurber was educated at the Collège de Longueuil. He worked as a clerk for fifteen years and then became an iron manufacturer at Longueuil. In 1894, he married Rose-Anne Larocque. Thurber served as mayor of Longueuil from 1915 to 1925 and from 1933 to 1935.
Montreal is the most populous municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec and the second-most populous municipality in Canada. Originally called Ville-Marie, or "City of Mary", it is named after Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill in the heart of the city. The city is centred on the Island of Montreal, which took its name from the same source as the city, and a few much smaller peripheral islands, the largest of which is Île Bizard. It has a distinct four-season continental climate with warm to hot summers and cold, snowy winters.
Pierre Alexis Davignon was a physician and political figure in Canada East. He represented Rouville in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada from 1848 to 1851.
Longueuil is a city in the province of Quebec, Canada. It is the seat of the Montérégie administrative region and the central city of the urban agglomeration of Longueuil. It sits on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River directly across from Montreal. The population as of the Canada 2016 Census totalled 239,700, making it Montreal's second largest suburb, the fifth most populous city in Quebec and twentieth largest in Canada.
He was first elected in the 1923 Quebec general election and re-elected in 1927, but did not run for reelection to the assembly 1931. He was elected again in 1935, but defeated by Hortensius Béïque in 1936.
Thurber died in Montreal at the age of 87.
