Missing the Johnson family (Daniel sr., Pierre-Marc, & Daniel Jr) The Trudeau sons aren't politicians, thus I suggest the Trudeau political 'family' (which includes Margaret Trudeau's father????) be eliminated (that is, unless another Trudeau becomes elected).

[edit] Senator Horner family
the polictal family of Horners included a senator, sons and cousions. Someone could write about them
[edit] Policital Families: Horner, Fulton, Martin, Nolan, Woodsworth
The Horner family would fit. Jack and Hugh were brothers and their uncle Albert Horner was a politician as well. There is also the Fulton family. E Davie Fulton, a federal politician from BC had a grand father and an uncle who were premiers of BC. Ernie Winch was an MP and his son Harold Edward Winch was leader of the NDP in BC and a federal MP. I think his brother Eric Winch, a judge, also ran for elected political office. What about Paul Martins Sr/Jr? George and Patrick Nolan were both MP's. JS Woodsworth was a leader and founder of the CCF. His daughter Grace MacInnis was an MP after her husband, Angus MacInnis, also an MP passed away. Some leads can be found at vindicator.ca. This is my todo list, help is welcome, should be interesting. kgw 04:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I see that the Martins are already there. I have added Woodsworth-MacInnis. kgw 06:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Another useful link for anyone wanting to develop this topic [http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/about/people/key/family-famille/index.asp?lang=E Family members in House of Commons kgw 18:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)]
I am writing Frederick John Fulton who was the father of Davie Fulton. I have it that Alexander Edmund Batson Davie and Theodore Davie both early British Columbia premiers were grand father and great uncle of Davie Fulton but I have not been able to find out which was which. Any ideas?? kgw 07:11, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Savage family
Premier John Savage, premier of Nova Scotia 1993-1997, former Mayor of Dartmouth. Michael Savage (son) MP for Dartmouth-Cole Harbour 2004 to present.
[edit] Whelan
One of the Fathers of Confederation was Edward Whelan. I wonder if he is related to Eugene Whelan who is the father of Susan Whelan. I think Eugene was the brother? of Saskatchewan politician Edward Charles Whelan see List of articles about Saskatchewan CCF/NDP members. Related to Catherine Whelan Costen President of the Canadian Action Party? Chief electoral officer of Alberta in the 90's Elections Alberta Dermot Whelan? Others?
