Samuel Mayer "Max" Saltsman (29 May 1921 – 28 November 1985) was a Canadian businessman and politician for the social-democratic New Democratic Party, and served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Waterloo South, Waterloo and Waterloo–Cambridge electoral districts from 1964-1979.[1] He quit federal politics in 1979 and worked as a policy advisor until shortly before his death in 1985.

Early life and education

The son of Samuel and Sara (née Krier) Saltsman, he was born Samuel Mayer Saltsman on 29 May 1921 in Toronto, but was known as "Max" since he was a young child.[2] He was educated in Spadina area schools, finally leaving Central Technical School at age 14 to get a job to help support his family.[3] He studied part-time, after work hours, and eventually earned his high school credits.[4] He never completed university, but did take courses on and off since he started correspondence courses while serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), and continued on through to his years in parliament.[4] Saltsman served in France, the Netherlands, and Germany with the RCAF during World War II.[1] In 1947, he married Dorothy Gellman.[8] He was president of Galt Dry Cleaning Services and Eastern Coin Operated Enterprise.[5]

Career in politics

He was first elected to the House of Commons in a 1964 by-election held following the death of MP Gordon Chaplin, and was re-elected in 1965, 1968, 1972 and 1974. Saltsman was the NDP critic for Finance and National Revenue from 1976 to 1977.[1] Saltsman drafted a private member's bill that proposed that Canada annex the Turks and Caicos Islands; however, it was never submitted to a vote.[6]

Prior to federal office, he was an alderman in Galt, Ontario from 1961 to 1964.[6] In 1982, he was named to Bill Davis' Inflation Restraint Board.[7] Saltsman planned to return to municipal politics as a councillor-at-large for Cambridge in 1985, but cancelled these plans at a public news conference on 21 October, where he announced he was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer.[8] Saltsman died in Toronto's Wellesley Hospital on 28 November, two-weeks after the Cambridge municipal election was held.[2]
