You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''James Langstaff Bowman''', ((Post-nominals|country=CAN|PC)) (October 6, 1879 – September 14, 1951) was the first [[Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada]] from [[Manitoba]].

Bowman had been a teacher and lawyer in [[Dauphin, Manitoba]]. In 1917, he became the town's mayor. He ran unsuccessfully in the [[1925 Canadian federal election|1925]] and [[1926 Canadian federal election|1926 general elections]] for the [[Conservative Party of Canada (historical)|Conservative Party]]. He finally winning a seat in the [[1930 Canadian federal election|1930 election]] that brought [[R.B. Bennett]] to power.

He became Speaker after his predecessor, [[George Black (Canadian politician)|George Black]], suffered a nervous breakdown in the summer of 1934, and was unfit to preside when the [[House of Commons of Canada]] reconvened in January 1935.

As the Deputy Speaker was ill, Bennett approached Bowman, a [[backbench]]er, hours before the House was to convene, about becoming Speaker for the rest of the Parliamentary term.

Bowman had little experience as Speaker and had to deal with a tense, pre-election session. [[Member of Parliament (Canada)|Members of Parliament]] on all sides of the House felt that Bowman did well in the job. But when the [[1935 Canadian federal election|1935 general election]] was held in the fall, Bowman lost his [[Legislative seat|seat]] by a large margin.

He returned to his law practice in Dauphin and failed in his attempt to regain his seat in the [[1940 Canadian federal election|1940 election]].

James Bowman was named to the team that represented the [[Manitoba Curling Association]] at the [[1932 Winter Olympics]]. That year, [[curling]] was a [[demonstration sport]]. Bowman was third for the team which took first place in the event. The Manitoba team was undefeated, winning all four of its games at the Olympics.<ref name=gold>((cite news |url=http://www.chroniclejournal.com/content/news/local/2014/03/27/fort-william-mayor-won-olympic-gold |title=Fort William mayor won Olympic gold |newspaper=Chronicle-Journal |last=Imrie |first=Diane |date=March 27, 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20140913002534/http://www.chroniclejournal.com/content/news/local/2014/03/27/fort-william-mayor-won-olympic-gold |archivedate=September 13, 2014 ))</ref> In 2004, the team was inducted into the [[Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame and Museum|Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.halloffame.mb.ca/honouredmembers/inductee.php?id=318&criteria_sort=name |title=1932 W.H.
