Harvey Norman Murray Patterson (September 12, 1924 – April 8, 2014)[1] was a Canadian politician in Manitoba, Canada.
The son of Norman Clifford Patterson and Isabel Baker, he was born in Roland, Manitoba and educated at University of Manitoba, and served overseas with the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders in World War II.
In the provincial election of 1973, Patterson ran for the NDP in the Winnipeg riding of Crescentwood against Progressive Conservative Lawrie Pollard and Liberal June Menzies.
Patterson won on election night, but a judicial recount invalidated 150 ballots and handed the victory to Pollard.
