20th-century Canadian politician
Louis-Athanase David (June 24, 1882 – January 26, 1953)[1] Canadian lawyer , politician , and businessman. He was a cabinet minister in the Provincial Parliament of Quebec, representing the riding of Terrebonne and serving as Provincial Secretary.[2]
Early life
[ edit ]
David was born in Montreal ;[3] Laurent-Olivier David , a Canadian journalist, lawyer, and politician.[4] law degree from Université Laval and was admitted to the Bar of Quebec in 1905.[citation needed
Career
[ edit ]
David began practising law in 1905, and was a partner in the law firm of Elliott & David. He joined the Liberal party, and was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Quebec in 1916 as the Liberal Party member for the Terrebonne riding, serving until 1936.[5] [6] [7]
David did not run in the 1936 election , but was elected again in 1939 .[8]
David created the Prix Athanase-David literary prize in 1922.[2] [9] Legion of Honour by the government of France ; he was made an Officer in 1925 and a Commander in 1934.[citation needed
A sports fan, David was president of the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey club from 1930 to 1935. The club won three Stanley Cups during his tenure in 1924 , 1930 , and 1931 . In 1928 he partnered with Montreal stockbroker Ernest Savard and American baseball executive George Stallings to revive the Montreal Royals baseball franchise as part of the International League and to build Delorimier Stadium .[citation needed
David resigned from the provincial government in February 1940 to accept an appointment as Senator in the Parliament of Canada where he served until his death in 1953.[3] [8]
1935 ballot controversy
[ edit ]
In the 1935 election , David's victory was contested on the ground that the ballot papers were not printed in the form prescribed under the Election Act . At the subsequent hearing, the judge ruled that all cast ballots were declared void. Immediately afterwards, the returning officer announced that, as this resulted in a 0-0 tie, he cast his deciding vote in favour of David.[10] [11]
The returning officer's action was considered to have been without precedent anywhere in the world in countries with parliamentary-style legislatures.[14] [14] Quebec Court of Appeal in April 1936.[15] [16]

David was married to Antonia Nantel (known as Madame Athanase David), who was an arts administrator and patron in Montreal. He helped her in establishing the Montreal Symphony Orchestra in 1934 and the Montreal Festivals in 1936.[17] [18] Paul David , was a cardiologist and later Canadian senator. His granddaughter is Françoise David .
