BiographyBorn in Hawick, Roxburghshire, Scotland, he moved to Canada West when still a youth.[5] When the rest of his family moved to Huron County to establish a farm,[6] he decided to remain in Nelson Township, becoming a prominent wheat merchant.[7] He was Reeve of Nelson Township for two years,[5] and was instrumental in incorporating the Village of Wellington Square in 1873.[7] After Wellington Square was amalgamated with Port Nelson to become the Village of Burlington late that year,[7] he became its Reeve for five years.[5] During that time, he was also Warden of Halton County for two years.[5] In 1885, he sold his interest in his business to his partner, and became a lumber baron, moving to Toronto in the process.[7] He founded the Victoria Harbour Lumber Company (consolidating three mills then operating)[8] that year,[6] located at Victoria Harbour, Ontario.[7] Many of the buildings he had constructed there have since been designated as heritage properties.[9] He would acquire further mills in his lifetime, including one in Spragge, Ontario just one month before his death.[5] He was also the President of two tanneries, located at Collingwood and Burk's Falls,[5] and was a director on the boards of the Toronto Paper Company (operating in Cornwall) and the Canada Coating Mills (located in Georgetown).[5] Waldie was also a director of the Bank of Toronto,[5] and had also been vice-president of the Landed Banking and Loan Company in Hamilton, Ontario,[5] which later became part of Canada Permanent Trust. He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada as a Member of the Liberal Party in the 1887 election to represent the riding of Halton, later being re-elected in 1888, but defeated in the elections of 1891 and 1896. In that time, he developed a close friendship with Wilfrid Laurier, which proved useful after he left office.[6] {{-}}Electoral record{{Canadian election result/top|CA|1896|percent=yes|change=yes}}{{CANelec|CA|Conservative (historical)|David Henderson|2,460|50.9 |-0.2}}{{CANelec|CA|Liberal|John Waldie|2,376|49.1|+0.2}}{{Canadian election result/total|Total valid votes|4,836 |100.0}}{{end}}{{Canadian election result/top|CA|1891|percent=yes|change=yes}}{{CANelec|CA|Conservative (historical)|David Henderson|2,441|51.1 |+1.4}}{{CANelec|CA|Liberal|John Waldie|2,337|48.9|-1.4}}{{Canadian election result/total|Total valid votes| 4,778|100.0}}{{end}}{{CANelec/top|CA|22 August 1888|by=yes|percent=yes|change=yes}}{{CANelec/note|On Mr. Waldie being unseated, 19 January 1888, for bribery by agents, and the subsequent winner Mr. Henderson being then unseated for corrupt practices by agents}}{{CANelec|CA|Liberal|John Waldie|2,042|50.3|}}{{CANelec|CA|Conservative (historical)|David Henderson|2,018|49.7 |-1.4}}{{Canadian election result/total|Total valid votes|4,060 |100.0}}{{end}}{{Canadian election result/top|CA|1887|percent=yes|change=yes}}{{CANelec|CA|Liberal|John Waldie|2,222|50.1|-1.1}}{{CANelec|CA|Conservative (historical)|David Henderson|2,213|49.9|}}{{Canadian election result/total|Total valid votes|4,435 |100.0}}{{end}}Further reading
