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.

He was first elected to Parliament at the St. Ann riding in the 1930 general election after unsuccessful campaigns at the Châteauguay—Huntingdon riding in 1925 and 1926. After serving only one term in the House of Commons, Sullivan did not seek re-election in 1935.
