Patrick Morgan Mahoney

Patrick Morgan Mahoney

Patrick Morgan Mahoney, PC (born January 20 1929) is a retired judge and former politician, lawyer and businessman.

Mahoney was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1968 election as the Liberal Member of Parliament for Calgary South. An Alberta Liberal in a province and city not known for electing Liberal politicians, Mahoney rode the wave of Trudeaumania to defeat the Progressive Conservative incumbent in the riding by just over 700 votes.

In 1970, he became parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Finance. He held that position until January 1972 when he was promoted to the Cabinet of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau as a Minister of State.

Mahoney's promotion was not enough for him to save his Calgary seat in the subsequent 1972 election, and he went down to defeat at the hands of his Tory rival, losing by more than 16,000 votes. Mahoney was the last Liberal to represent any Calgary riding in the House of Commons.

Subsequent to his defeat, Mahoney, a lawyer by training, was appointed to the Federal Court of Appeal.
