A. Ross Webster, born on March twenty-fourth, nineteen oh three, in Duluth, Minnesota, was a notable Canadian businessman and politician. His career as a merchant and importer laid the foundation for his later political endeavors, where he became a member of the Progressive Conservative party.
Webster's political journey began with an attempt to secure a seat in the House of Commons of Canada during the nineteen fifty-seven general election for the Saint-Antoine—Westmount riding. Although this initial effort was unsuccessful, he persevered and achieved victory in the subsequent election held in nineteen fifty-eight.
During his tenure, Webster served in the twenty-fourth Canadian Parliament, marking his only term in federal office. After completing his time in Parliament, he chose not to seek re-election, stepping away from the political arena to focus on his business pursuits.
