Russell Clayton Honey (28 August 1921 – 7 January 2007) was a Liberal party member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was born in Riverhurst, Saskatchewan and became a barrister and lawyer by career after studies at Osgoode Hall Law School.[1]
After an initial unsuccessful attempt to win the Durham riding in the 1958 federal election, he won that seat in the 1962 election. Honey was re-elected there in 1963 and 1965. His riding changed in the late 1960s to Northumberland—Durham where he won re-election in the 1968 election. After serving his final House of Commons term in the 28th Canadian Parliament, he was defeated in the 1972 election by Allan Lawrence of the Progressive Conservative party.
After leaving federal politics, Honey served as a judge of the Ontario Superior Court in 1990 and 1991.[2]
