  • William Raymond Sexsmith was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Conservative representative from 1933 until his death. Sexsmith was born in Napanee, Ontario. He moved to Manitoba at a young age, and was educated in Portage La Prairie. He worked as a barrister, and also served as president of the Canadian Hockey Association and the Manitoba Hockey Association, as well as president of the Portage la Prairie Rink Co. Ltd. Sexsmith was secretary-treasurer of the Conservative association in the Portage la Prairie constituency for twenty-five years prior to his election. He was first elected to the legislature in a by-election held on November 27, 1933, defeating independent candidate E.A. Gilroy by 236 votes. He again defeated Gilroy, who was by this time a Liberal-Progressive candidate, in the 1936 provincial election. The Conservatives were the primary opposition party in Manitoba during this period, and Sexsmith sat with his party on the opposition benches. In 1940, the Conservatives joined with the Liberal-Progressives in a coalition government. Sexsmith became a backbench supporter of John Bracken's government, and was re-elected by acclamation in the 1941 provincial election. He died in 1943.
  • William Raymond Sexsmith byl kanadským manitobským politikem. Byl členem manitobského zákonodárného shromáždění Legislative Assembly of Manitoba, kde zastupoval konzervativní Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba od roku 1933 až do své smrti. Sexsmith se narodil v ontarijském Napanee. Již v mládí se přestěhoval do Manitoby, studoval v Portage La Prairiee. Pracoval jako advokát, působil i jako prezident Canadian Hockey Association a Manitoba Hockey Association, stejně jako prezident společnosti Portage la Prairie Rink Co. Ltd. Sexsmith byl tajemníkem hospodáře konzervativců ve volebním obvodě Portage la Prairie již pětadvacet let před svým zvolením poslancem. Poprvé byl zvolen v doplňovacích volbách z 27. listopadu 1933, když porazil nezávislého kanditáta E.A. Gilroye o 236 hlasů. Stejného protivníka porazil i v místních volbách v roce 1936, tentokrát ovšem Gilroy kandidoval za liberální Manitoba Liberal Party. Konzervativci byli v tomto období nejsilnější opoziční stranou. V roce 1940 konzervativci utvořili spolu s liberály koaliční vládu. Sexsmith se tak stal jedním z poslanců stojících za vládou Johna Brackena, znovuzvolen byl ještě v roce 1941, tentokrát přímo aklamací. Zemřel v roce 1943.
