William Smithe (born William Smith; June 30, 1842 in Matfen, Northumberland, England – March 28, 1887 in Victoria, British Columbia) was a British Columbia politician. Smithe was born William Smith in England and moved to Canada in his youth, settling on Vancouver Island in 1862 as a farmer. In 1871, he ran and won a seat in the new provincial legislature. There he added the final "e" to his name. De Cosmos, also then a member of the legislature, had likewise been born as "William Smith," but in a characteristically grand gesture had legally adopted instead a new name meaning "Love of the Universe."

  • William Smithe (né le 30 juin 1842, décédé le 28 mars 1887) était un homme politique britanno-colombien. Smithe est né en Grande-Bretagne, mais immigre au Canada dans sa jeunesse et s'établit sur l'Île de Vancouver en 1862 comme fermier. En 1871 il est candidat dans la première élection générale de la Colombie-Britannique et remporte un siège à la nouvelle législature provinciale. En 1875, il devient, de façon informelle, le chef de l'opposition au gouvernement du premier ministre George Anthony Walkem, mais il cède la direction de l'opposition à Andrew Charles Elliott. Smithe est ministre au sein du cabinet éphémère d'Elliott de 1876 à 1878 avant de retourner sur les banquettes de l'opposition pour devenir de nouveau chef de l'opposition. (fr)
