James Nation Hillyer[1] (8 July 1974 – 23 March 2016) was a Canadian politician. He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada for the federal Conservative Party of Canada in the 2011 election, representing the electoral district of Lethbridge and was a Conservative MP until his death.

Early life and education

Hillyer was born on 8 July 1974 in Lethbridge, Alberta,[2] and was a native of nearby Stirling.[3] Hillyer earned a master's degree in political economy from George Wythe University (a non-accredited university) in Cedar City, Utah, and took PhD courses in constitutional law.[4]

Hillyer and his wife Livi had four children and resided in Raymond, Alberta.[4] Prior to his marriage, Hillyer was a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Quebec.[5]

Political career

Hillyer won a nomination to run in a Saskatchewan provincial election under the Saskatchewan Party banner in a Regina electoral district. He decided to drop out after he was diagnosed with leukemia.[6]

He made a political comeback running for a seat to the House of Commons of Canada in the 2011 Canadian federal election. He contested the electoral district of Lethbridge as a Conservative candidate and held for his party with a large majority.[8]

His decision to not attend any candidate forums after his first was a controversial topic in the riding.[7] Hillyer's absence prompted a local Lethbridge newspaper to dub Hillyer "The Man Who Wasn't There".[5][8] He was also accused of inflating his credentials in campaign literature by emphasizing his graduate education but not mentioning that the institution where he studied—George Wythe University—is non-accredited.[6]

In December 2011, Hillyer stated in the House of Commons that he intended no offence when he made gunshot gestures with his hands as he voted to scrap the Canadian Firearms Registry.[9][10] In promising not to make hand gestures in the Commons in the future, Hillyer suggested that "if people were offended they should blame whoever posted the six-week-old video [on YouTube] on the anniversary" of the École Polytechnique massacre.[9]

In March 2012, Hillyer was caught on camera "rolling his eyes dramatically" in the House of Commons during a speech by NDP MP Pat Martin.[11]

2015 election

Between the 2011 and 2015 federal elections, the electoral boundaries in southern Alberta were changed. Raymond, where Hillyer lived, was moved from the Lethbridge riding to the Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner for the 2015 election. In 2014, upon learning that Medicine Hat MP LaVar Payne would not be running for reelection, Hillyer decided to seek the Conservative nomination for Medicine Hat rather than seek re-nomination for Lethbridge.[12]

In July 2014, Payne announced that he would not be endorsing Hillyer for the 2015 federal election, citing Hillyer's poor service of his constituents: "I have no problem saying that I won’t be endorsing Jim [Hillyer] just because of the fact that I know he hasn't served his own riding, and I don’t want that to happen here .... I know that he has not serviced his riding very well. I've had people from Lethbridge, Cardston area and Warner area talk to me about the whole thing, so I certainly won’t be endorsing Jim."[13]

Health and death

Hillyer had survived leukemia after receiving a bone marrow transplant in 2003.[4][20] In February 2016, Hillyer underwent surgery for a serious leg bone infection, the latest in a series of complications resulting from breaking his leg while skiing three years previously.[14] Hillyer returned to Ottawa after recovering from surgery to vote on the 2016 Canadian federal budget.[14]

After complaining of feeling unwell the previous day, Hillyer, aged 41, was found dead in his Ottawa office on 23 March 2016.[4][15] An autopsy confirmed the cause of death to be cardiomyopathy which may have been caused by either a pre-existing heart condition or caused by chemotherapy he underwent a decade before.[16]
