Richard Hardisty

Richard Charles Hardisty (born: March 3, 1831 died: October 18, 1889) was a politician from Northwest Territories, Canada.

Richard ran as an Independent Conservative in the 1887 Canadian federal election and finished a close second in the Alberta (Provisional District). He lost to Donald Watson Davis.

Richard was appointed to the Canadian Senate on the advice of John A. Macdonald on February 23, 1888. He died just a year later while still holding his Senate seat on October 18, 1889.

The village of Hardisty, Alberta is named in his honor.
