About Harry Harley
Lived 1926 – 2014 (aged 88). Harry Harley was a Canadian politician and physician.
Harry Cruickshank Harley (4 June 1926 – 27 September 2014) was a Canadian politician who served as Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was a physician by career.
Political career Harley was first elected at the Halton riding in the 1962 general election, narrowly defeating the incumbent Charles Alexander Best in a result where the armed services vote swung over to the Liberals. He was subsequently re-elected in 1963 and 1965. After completing his term in the 27th Canadian Parliament in 1968, Harley left federal politics and did not seek further re-election. His departure was said to be for personal reasons only, and not because of Pierre Elliott Trudeau winning the Liberal leadership.
