Daryl S. Fridhandler

Daryl Fridhandler (born October 9, 1956) is a Canadian corporate lawyer, arbitrator, businessman, and politician. He was appointed to the Senate of Canada on August 31, 2024. He was nominated by the Independent Advisory Board for Senate Appointments and appointed by Governor General of Canada Mary Simon on the recommendation of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Fridhandler joined the Alberta bar in 1984. He has been a partner in the Calgary-based law firm of Burnet, Duckworth & Palmer LLP since 1990 and is on the board of directors of Enmax, an electricity provider. The appointments of Fridhandler and Kristopher Wells as senators for Alberta were criticized by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for ignoring the results of the province's unofficial Senate nominee election. Smith issued a statement saying: "Despite our province's repeated democratic election of senators-in-waiting ready to represent Albertans’ interests, [Prime Minister Trudeau] has chosen to appoint left-wing partisans who will do whatever he and the Liberals order them to."
