William Henry Pope (Canadian politician)

William Henry Pope (May 29, 1825 – October 7, 1879) was a Canadian lawyer, politician, judge and one of the Fathers of Confederation.

He was born in Bedeque, Prince Edward Island, the son of Joseph Pope and Lucy Colledge. The editor of Prince Edward Island's main Tory newspaper, "The Islander", from 1859 to 1872, he entered politics in 1863. An enthusiastic supporter of Canadian Confederation, he left the PEI cabinet in 1866 but continued to press for union. After this was accomplished in 1873 under the leadership of his brother, PEI Premier James Colledge Pope, he was appointed a county court judge.
