Cartier (electoral district)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cartier was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1925 to 1968.
It was created in 1924 from parts of George-Étienne Cartier riding.
Cartier is the only riding in Canada to have elected a Communist to the House of Commons: Fred Rose, who was elected in a 1943 by-election, and re-elected in 1945. Rose ran under the banner of the Labour Progressive Party, which was a front organization for the banned Communist Party of Canada during the 1940s and 1950s. Sam Jacobs was the riding's MP for many years and was in his final years also the president of the Canadian Jewish Congress.
The electoral district was abolished in 1966 when it was redistributed into Laurier, Outremont and Saint-Jacques ridings.
