Fenwick Lionel Kelly (28 March 1863 – 7 February 1944) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in North Sydney, Nova Scotia and became a broker, farmer and merchant.
The Liberal Party of Canada is the oldest and longest-serving governing political party in Canada. The Liberals form the current government, elected in 2015. The party has dominated federal politics for much of Canada's history, holding power for almost 69 years in the 20th century—more than any other party in a developed country—and as a result, it is sometimes referred to as Canada's "natural governing party".
The House of Commons of Canada is a component of the Parliament of Canada, along with the Sovereign and the Senate. The House of Commons currently meets in a temporary Commons chamber in the West Block of the parliament buildings on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, while the Centre Block, which houses the traditional Commons chamber, undergoes a ten-year renovation.
North Sydney is a former town and current community in Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
The son of James Kelly and Rachel Way, he was educated in North Sydney and entered business there. In 1891, he married Laidee Cohoon. [1]
He was first elected to Parliament at the North Cape Breton and Victoria riding in a by-election on 31 July 1923 after Daniel Duncan McKenzie was named to the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. [1] After completing the remainder of the term of the 14th Canadian Parliament, Kelly was defeated in the 1925 federal election by Lewis Wilkieson Johnstone of the Conservatives, as the riding was then renamed Cape Breton North—Victoria.
Cape Breton North and Victoria was a federal electoral district in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1904 to 1968.
Daniel Duncan McKenzie, was a Canadian lawyer, judge, and politician.
The 14th Canadian Parliament was in session from 8 March 1922 until 5 September 1925. The membership was set by the 1921 federal election on 6 December 1921, and it changed only somewhat due to resignations and by-elections until, due to momentary confusion among the MPs, it lost a money vote and was dissolved, causing the 1925 election.
