William Davidson (November 17, 1867 – after 1912) was a Scottish-born miner and political figure in British Columbia.
He was born in Aberdeenshire in 1867,[1] the son of Andrew Davidson, and was educated in New Brunswick.
[3] In the provincial assembly, Davidson aligned himself with the Socialist members Parker Williams and James Hurst Hawthornthwaite.
[4] Because Premier Richard McBride only held a slim majority in the assembly, he often required support from the Socialists, which meant that they were able to push for progressive legislation, such as the eight-hour work day for miners, in the province.
