Maurice Allard

Maurice Allard, born on January second, nineteen twenty-two, in Sherbrooke, Quebec, was a prominent figure in Canadian politics and law. His career spanned several decades, during which he made significant contributions as a lawyer, law professor, and politician.

Allard's political journey began in nineteen fifty-eight when he was elected as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party, representing the riding of Sherbrooke. His initial foray into politics was marked by a strong commitment to his constituents and the values of his party.

However, his political career faced challenges. In nineteen sixty-two, he ran as an Independent Progressive Conservative but was defeated in the same riding. Discontent with the party leadership, particularly under John Diefenbaker, led Allard to resign from the Progressive Conservative Party in nineteen sixty-three.

Despite these setbacks, Allard's determination saw him return to the political arena. In nineteen sixty-five, he was elected again as an Independent Progressive Conservative and served in the House of Commons until his resignation on March sixth, nineteen sixty-eight.
