Francis Ferg

Francis Milton Ferg (May 10, 1889 in Arden, Manitoba – 1960) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal-Progressive from 1953 to 1958.

Ferg was educated at Manitoba University and the Manitoba Law School, and worked as a barrister-at-law. He was a captain in the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps in 1918, and a member of the Royal Canadian Legion.

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1953 provincial election, defeating opponents from the Progressive Conservative Party and Social Credit League in the rural constituency of Cypress. At his nomination speech, Ferg spoke out in favour of the Canadian wheat board and against the liberalization of Manitoba's liquor laws. He served as a backbench supporter of Douglas Campbell's government, and did not run for re-election in 1958.
