Anthony Hlynka (May 28, 1907 – April 25, 1957) was a Canadian journalist, publisher, immigration activist and politician. He represented Vegreville in the Canadian House of Commons from 1940 to 1949, as a member of the Social Credit Party of Canada. He is most best known for his attempts to reform Canada's immigration laws after World War II to permit the immigration of Ukrainian displaced persons.
==Early life and career==
Hlynka was born in the Western Ukrainian village of Denysiv, in the Ternopil Oblast of Halychyna, then a province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He moved to Canada with his family in 1910, and was raised in a homesteader community in Alberta's Delph district, about 18 miles northeast of Lamont. He was educated in both Ukrainian and English.
Hlynka moved to Edmonton in 1922 and graduated from Alberta College the following year, but was unable to attend university.〔Autobiography of Anthony Hlynka (trans.), printed in Oleh W. Gerus and Denis Hlynka, ed., ''The Honourable Member for Vegreville: The Memoirs and Diary of Anthony Hlynka, MP'', Calgary: University of Calgary Press, 2005, p. 3.〕 He taught English to other Ukrainian immigrants, and worked at an insurance firm from 1929 to 1931. He also wrote for the paper ''Novyi shliakh'' (''New Pathway''), and was elected to its executive in November 1931.
