Michael Houlton

Michael Houlton

Michael Houlton was a Canadian political activist. He contested both the 1973 and 1976 Ontario Liberal leadership conventions placing last in both attempts with 11 votes in 1973 and 4 votes in 1976.

He was an Independent candidate in the 1972 federal election placing last in Peel South with 461 votes. He listed his occupation as "self-employed".[1] He again placed last as an Independent in the October 1978 federal by-election in Ottawa Centre receiving 254 votes. This time he listed his occupation as "leader" suggesting he was leading an unrecognized political party.[2]

In provincial politics, aside from running for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party, he was a non-party candidate in Ottawa South in the 1977 Ontario election receiving 574 votes. A candidate named Michael Houlton-Charette ran for Mayor of Toronto in 1997[3] winning 211 votes in the municipal election but it is not known if this is the same person.
