Hortensius Béïque (September 29, 1889 - August 15, 1951) was a Canadian politician from Quebec.
He was born on September 29, 1889, in Marieville and was a stock broker.
Béïque unsuccessfully ran as a Conservative candidate for the district Chambly—Verchères in 1926.
He served as Mayor of Chambly-Bassin, Quebec, from 1930 to 1945.
Béïque ran as a Conservative candidate in 1931 for the district of Vaudreuil and won. He was defeated against Liberal candidate Alexandre Thurber in 1935.
He made a political comeback and was elected as a Union Nationale candidate in 1936, but lost re-election again in 1939.
He is particularly remembered for a comment he made in the legislative assembly on April 2, 1935, when he said, "The roads are as crooked as the government." When required to retract this unparliamentary statement, he corrected himself, saying, "I will say that the roads are not as crooked as the government."[1]
