Angus MacLennan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Angus MacLennan, MD, MP (May 1844 - August 27, 1908) was a Canadian politician.

Born in Dunvegan, on Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island, MacLennan was the Liberal Member of Parliament for the Canadian riding of Inverness.

MacLennan also represented Inverness (as a Conservative) for one term in the Nova Scotia legislature (1882-1886). He was instrumental in bringing the railway to the west side of Cape Breton Island, thereby spurring the growth of Inverness as a coal-exporting boom town in the first quarter of the 20th century.

A strong supporter of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, he died on August 27, 1908, in Cheticamp, Cape Breton, while campaigning for a fourth term in the 1908 election.
