Edmond Thibaudeau (1872-1957), was a businesman and a local politician in Shawinigan, Quebec.
Beginning in 1903, Thibaudeau operated a small private power plant on the Shawinigan River (Petite Rivière Shawinigan) and was therefore competing with the Shawinigan, Water & Power Company (SW&P) for the local distribution of electricity.
Thibaudeau's company was bought in 1917 by the SW&P, who operated it until 1932 and then dismantled it.
He earned his nickname, L'Orignal à Thibaudeau (Thibaudeau the Moose), when during two years he regularly rode through the streets of Shawinigan on a moose-drawn carriage.
He successfully ran for Mayor in 1915 against incumbent Joseph-Auguste Frigon.
