BackgroundHe was born in Lindsay, Ontario in 1897,[1][2] but moved to Toronto when he was young. He grew up and was educated in the Parkdale area of Toronto.[3] He joined the Canada Army as a private in 1916, during the First World War. His unit, the 204th Battalion of the Canadian Infantry, was commanded by future Ontario Attorney General, Lieutenant-Colonel William Price.[3] He was severely injured in the war, losing a leg during the Battle of Cambrai in 1918.[3] He came back to Canada and eventually graduated from the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall law school.[3] PoliticsDuring the 1937 Ontario general election Blackwell was a candidate in Toronto's Eglinton electoral district; where he came in second on election night.[3] He ran again in Eglinton, and was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the 1943 election that brought George Drew's Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario to power with a minority government. Blackwell was immediately put into Drew's cabinet as Attorney General.[3] After Drew's departure from provincial politics, Blackwell was a candidate to replace him in the 1949 Conservative leadership election, placing second to Leslie Frost.[3] He did not join Frost's cabinet and served his remaining time as a backbencher in the legislature, and did not run in the 1951 election.[4] Cabinet positions{{s-start}}{{Canadian cabinet member navigational box header |ministry=George_Drew}}{{ministry box cabinet posts| post1preceded = Eric Cross | post1 = Attorney General | post1years = 1943-1949 | post1note = | post1followed = Dana Porter }}{{s-end}} Later lifeHe went back to his private law practice and became involved in land development.
