Harry Flemming

Harry Flemming

Harry Flemming (1933 - 16 February, 2008) was a Nova Scotian journalist focused on politics. He was also an unsuccessful candidate for Liberal Party of Canada Member of Parliament in the Canadian federal election, 1968.

Born in Boston, Flemming was raised in Truro and went on to graduate from Dalhousie Law School. Involved in politics throughout his life, he tried his hand at politics directly for the first time at age 34 by running for the Liberals in the strongly conservative riding of Cumberland-Colchester North, losing to Progressive Conservative Party of Canada candidate Robert Coates 18,446 votes to 10,139. Noteworthy is that the PC Party federal leader was none other than Truro native Robert Stanfield.

Flemming was a well-known journalistic political commentator, for years with the former Halifax Daily News and on television for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on CBHT's supper hour news show First Edition between 1986 and 1995.

Flemming died in the morning of Saturday, February 16th, 2008 of complications from cancer and pneumonia. He reportedly refused anti-biotics near death.
