Arthur Charles Hardy, PC (December 3, 1872 – March 13, 1962) was a Canadian politician.[1]
Born in Brantford, Ontario, he ran for the Canadian House of Commons in the Ontario riding of Leeds in the 1917 federal election.[1] Although unsuccessful in that election, he was considered a powerful and influential figure within the Liberal Party.[1] In 1922, he was called to the Canadian Senate representing the senatorial division of Leeds, Ontario.[1] A Liberal, he served forty years until his death in 1962. In 1930, he was the Speaker of the Canadian Senate.[1]
He was a graduate of Osgoode Hall Law School,[1] and worked primarily as a lawyer.[1] He was also an owner of radio station CHML in Hamilton,[2] until the station was sold to Ken Soble in 1942.[2] In 1938, he was named as a corporate director of Dominion Life.[3]
Hardy was the son of Ontario Premier Arthur Sturgis Hardy.[1] He married Dorothy Fulford, the daughter of Senator George Taylor Fulford.[1]
