Edward Douglas Haliburton (March 28, 1898 – March 12, 1990) was a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral districts of Kings County and Kings South in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1953 to 1970. He was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia.[1]
Born in 1898 at St. John's, Newfoundland, Haliburton was educated at Dalhousie University, and University of King's College.[2] He married Louella Jean Tattrie in March 1926.[2] By career, Haliburton was a farmer, fruit grower, and journalist.[2]
Haliburton first attempted to enter provincial politics in the 1949 election, but was defeated by 184 votes.[3] He ran again in the 1953 election, and was elected in the dual-member riding of Kings County with Progressive Conservative George Arthur Boggs.[4] In the 1956 election, Haliburton was re-elected in the new Kings South riding by 774 votes.[5] In November 1956, Haliburton was appointed to the Executive Council of Nova Scotia as Minister of Agriculture and Marketing.[2][6] In July 1959, he was given an additional role in cabinet as Minister of Lands and Forests.[2] Haliburton was re-elected in the 1960,[7] and 1963 elections.[8] In July 1964, Haliburton was moved to Minister of Fisheries, while remaining as Minister of Lands and Forests.[2][9] He was re-elected in the 1967 election.[10] When George Isaac Smith was sworn in as premier in September 1967, Haliburton retained his previous cabinet roles, but was also named Minister of Education.[2][11] In May 1968, Smith shuffled his cabinet, moving Haliburton to Provincial Secretary.[2][12] He did not reoffer in the 1970 election.[1]
