William Arthur Kardash (June 10, 1912[1] – January 17, 1997) was a politician and member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1941 until 1958.

[1] His defeat was due in part to the pressures of the Cold War, as well as the abolition of proportional representation and multi-member districts.

In 1948, Kardash became general manager of the People's Co-operative Dairy, Fuel and Lumber Yards in 1948, retiring in 1982.

[2] Kardash ran in the new Point Douglas constituency in 1969 for the (renamed) Communist Party of Manitoba,[1] but received only 421 votes (9.81%), coming in last in a four-candidate race won by Donald Malinowski of the NDP.

In 1995, he attended a public dedication ceremony at the Ontario legislature held to honour veterans of the Mackenzie–Papineau Battalion, of which he was one.
