political precedents of coloured people

"Hubbard was the first visible minority, and the first black citizen, to be elected to public office, at either the local, provincial, or federal level, in a Canadian city."

What about British Columbia governor James Douglas ?

"James Douglas was born in Demerara (now part of Guyana) to John Douglas, a Scottish planter, and Martha Ann Tefler, or "a Miss Richie", according to Dictionary of Canadian Biography a Creole originally from Barbados. Telfer was free coloured, which in her time and place meant a free person of mixed European and African ancestry. Thus, James Douglas - as all her children with John Douglas - was part black.

Before Hubbard was elected to office, Wilson Ruffin Abbott (an American-born man of African descent and the

father of Dr. Anderson R. Abbott, the first Canadian-born black medical doctor) was elected alderman, representing St. Patrick's Ward, by a margin of 40 votes in Toronto's 1840 municipal election. Wouldn't that make him the first person of African descent elected to office before W.P. Hubbard? I.M. Canadian — Preceding unsigned comment added by I.M.
