Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Russell Francis MacNeil (born February 24, 1931) is a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Cape Breton Centre in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1989 to 1998. He was a member of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party.[2]
MacNeil was born in 1931 at New Waterford, Nova Scotia.[3] He graduated from St. Francis Xavier University with an arts degree in 1953, and an education degree in 1954.[1] MacNeil entered provincial politics in 1989, running as the Liberal candidate in a Cape Breton Centre by-election.[4] Defeated by seven votes on election night,[5][6] the number was reduced to two when official results were announced.[7][8] However, a judicial recount in September ended with MacNeil being declared the winner by three votes.[9] His Progressive Conservative opponent appealed to the Nova Scotia Supreme Court,[10] and in February 1990, the by-election was declared invalid and MacNeil's victory voided.[11] A second by-election was held on August 28, 1990, with MacNeil winning the seat.[9] He was re-elected in the 1993 election,[12] and served as a backbench member of John Savage's government. MacNeil did not seek re-election in 1998.[13]
