Vincent Dantzer

Vincent Martin Dantzer (2 October 1923 – 13 March 2001) was a Canadian lawyer, economist, and politician, a member of the House of Commons of Canada, and a mayor of Edmonton, Alberta.

He left this position and moved to Edmonton to lecture in political science at the University of Alberta, where he also earned a law degree in 1956.

On 11 March 1965, mayor William Hawrelak was expelled from office by the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench, which found that he had violated the City Act in his dealings with a development company that he partly owned.

In 1970, not long after leaving municipal politics, Dantzer moved to Vernon, British Columbia where he became the senior partner in a six-person firm that he founded.

In the 1980 federal election, Dantzer ran for the House of Commons of Canada as the Progressive Conservative candidate in Okanagan North.
