Born in Lucan, Ontario, on November 17, 1871,[1] he moved west to Alberta, becoming a pioneer in the area east of Edmonton.[2] In the 1905 provincial election, Alberta's first as a province, Walker ran as the Liberal candidate in the district of Victoria. He was elected by a wide margin,{{Clarify|reason=vague|date=March 2017}} and became a member of the 1st Alberta Legislature. He was re-elected by acclamation in the 1909 election, and was easily re-elected in the 1913 election. Prior to the 1917 election, the legislature passed an act re-electing all of its members serving in the First World War;[3] as Walker was at this time a lieutenant in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, he was thus "re-elected" without need of an election. In 1921 William Fedun of United Farmers of Alberta defeated him. In that election the Liberal party swept out of power. He tried to regain his seat in 1926 but came a close{{Clarify|reason=vague|date=March 2017}} second. Walker eventually moved to British Columbia and he attempted a comeback in politics running for the British Columbia Liberal Party in the 1941 British Columbia general election in North Vancouver.
