George Dinsdale

George Dinsdale (August 14, 1887[1] in Leven, East Riding of Yorkshire, England[2] – September 21, 1943[3]) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada.

He first farmed in Ontario and came west in 1906, settling on a Dominion Lands Act homestead at Craik, Saskatchewan.

[2] In Brandon's 1919 mayoralty campaign, Dinsdale presented himself as a "labour man", though noting he had opposed the recent general strike in the city.

Albert E. Smith, a prominent labour organizer and later a Member of the Legislative Assembly, contended that Dinsdale was actually a candidate of the city's conservative interests.

Dinsdale was re-elected in the 1941 election as a pro-coalition Conservative,[1] defeating McDiarmid a second time by a reduced margin.
