Hugh McFadyen Biography

Hugh McFadyen is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on May 31, 1967 in Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada. Hugh Daniel McFadyen, born 31 May 1967, is a Canadian lawyer and politician. He was the leader of Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba and Leader of Opposition in the Manitoba legislature from 2006 to 2012. After his party’s defeat in the 2011 elections, he declared that he would be stepping down as leader once a new leader was appointed. McFadyen officially quit on July 30, 2012.

McFadyen was responsible for Sam Katz’s campaign to become Winnipeg Mayor in mid-2004. This was in a municipal byelection that took place after Glen Murray’s resignation. McFadyen was later appointed by Katz as his senior political adviser.

McFadyen resigned as advisor to the mayor in May 2005, in order to seek the federal Conservative Party nomination for Winnipeg South. He defeated rival candidate Rod Bruinooge by only twelve votes at the nomination meeting. When the federal election was deferred, McFadyen was hired by provincial Progressive Conservative leader Stuart Murray as a consultant on urban issues. The Progressive Conservatives were the Official Opposition party in this period, having lost a second election to the New Democratic Party under Gary Doer in 2003.

During a speech in September 2006, McFadyen described the former New Democratic Party government of Howard Pawley as having been influenced by communism. This statement was widely criticized, and Pawley described it as “fallacious and ridiculous”. McFadyen initially refused to withdraw the accusation, and said that there had been card-carrying members of the Communist Party in Pawley’s government. (This was undoubtedly a reference to Roland Penner, a former member of the communist Labor-Progressive Party who served in Pawley’s cabinet during the 1980s. Penner indicated that he had left the LPP in 1960, several years before he ran as an NDP candidate.)

McFadyen was elected as the Office of the Premier after the Progressive Conservatives lost the 1999 election. The Filmon government resigned shortly afterwards. After completing his law degree at University College London and working for a Toronto consulting firm, he spent two years practicing law in London, UK. In 2003, he returned to Manitoba and joined Aikins, MacAulay & Thorvaldson. He was elected the Manitoba chair of Belinda Stronach’s campaign to lead the new Conservative Party of Canada in early 2004.

Norman Gould went on to win curling in Japan and then became the coach of the Jeff Stoughton World Championship Curling Team.

McFadyen has a Bachelor of Arts (1990), and Bachelor of Laws (93) degree from the University of Manitoba. After Taras Sokolyk’s September 1998 resignation, McFadyen was named principal secretary to Premier Gary Filmon. McFadyen was Filmon’s observer at the federal United Alternative convention and was deputy campaign manager of the Progressive Conservatives during the 1999 provincial election.

Later in 2005, McFadyen resigned his federal nomination to seek the Progressive Conservative nomination for a provincial by-election in Fort Whyte. He was supported by Gary Filmon, and again defeated Bruinooge for the nomination. Fort Whyte is a safe Progressive Conservative seat, and McFadyen was elected without difficulty in December.
