Biography

Thomas Allan "Allie" Brick (January 2, 1867 – April 25, 1938) was a politician and farmer from Alberta, Canada.

Early life

Brick was a pioneer farmer who is largely credited with bringing grain farming to the northern Alberta.

Political career

Brick ran for a seat to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in a by-election held to dispense with the vacancy in the Peace River electoral district caused by the Executive Council of Alberta refusing to recognize the results from the 1905 Alberta general election.

The by-election was held on February 15, 1906. Brick ran as an Independent Liberal candidate defeating the Liberal candidate James Cornwall in a straight fight with a landslide majority. Brick was nominated by a large group of residents in the town of Peace River who chose him to be their representative in Edmonton.

Brick only served a single term in the Legislature, he was originally going to run for a second term in office but dropped out of the race before the nomination deadline.
