I've spent much of today going through old provincial election returns.
The most interesting thing I learned is that the United Farmers of Ontario Party was once the provincial government, back in 1919.
The premier of that government was Ernest Charles Drury, the namesake of the school for the deaf in Milton.
Drury was our eighth premier, his term lasting from 1919 to 1923, and he oversaw a minority government.
The United Farmers party had 45 of 112 seats.
That year, the Progressive Conservatives had 25 seats, the Liberals had 29, Labour had 11, and Independents had 2.
