Ian MacDonald (politician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ian "Tex" MacDonald is a school teacher and former Mayor of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. MacDonald ran for leadership of Prince Edward Island Liberal Party in 1996 against Daniel Mullen, Keith Milligan, and Wayne Cheverie.
MacDonald was a prominent member of the Prince Edward Island Progressive Conservative Party prior to switching to the Liberals to run for the party leadership. The Liberals were the governing party of Prince Edward Island at the time under the leadership of Catherine Callbeck. Following a controversial wage roll-back for thousands of public sector employees in the province, Callbeck resigned as leader of the party and therefore as leader of the government in order to give the party a better chance to win re-election.
