Gabriel Girard (born September 14, 1935) is a former politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served as a Progressive Conservative member of the Manitoba legislature from 1969 to 1973.
Girard first ran for the Manitoba legislature in the 1966 election, in the rural constituency of Emerson in the province's southeast corner. He lost to Liberal incumbent John Tanchak by 175 votes. He ran again in the 1969 election and defeated Tanchak by 453 votes, as the Liberals saw their support base decrease in rural Manitoba.
Girard does not appear to have played a major role in the legislature, and did not seek re-election in 1973.
Famous quotes containing the word gabriel:
“The rose and poppy are her flowers; for where
Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent
And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare?
Lo! as that youth’s eyes burned at thine, so went
Thy spell through him, and left his straight neck bent
And round his heart one strangling golden hair.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
