Frederick Clarke Tate (January 24, 1849[1] – 1920[2]) was a farmer and political figure in Saskatchewan. He represented Regina County from 1908 to 1912 as a Provincial Rights Party member and Lumsden from 1912 to 1917 as a Conservative in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.
He was born in Grafton, Ontario, the son of Robert Tate and Margaret Clarke, and was educated there and in Brighton. Tate taught school for five years in Ontario and then travelled west in 1882. He was a sergeant-major in the Northumberland militia. In 1897, Tate married Mae Eliza Roberts. He ran unsuccessfully for the Lumsden seat in the provincial assembly in 1905. In 1908 Tate chose to contest the riding again but veteran MLA James Hawkes ran against him for the Provincial Rights nomination and although Tate narrowly defeated him many delegates declared that Hawkes was more entitled to the seat, for his part Hawkes declared that he "did not feel like supporting Tate."[3]
The Liberals, sought to take advantage of this division by asking Hawkes to run as their candidate in the riding, replacing Premier Walter Scott, and it was reported that should he run as a Liberal or even as an independent in that constituency Hawkes could expect "a good thing" from the government.[4] Hawkes rejected the Liberal offers and subsequently announced that he would support Tate, and it was believed that his large following within the German community would be decisive in the election. Recognizing that Hawkes could not be bought, members of the local Liberal association then offered the nomination to R.A. Carman, solely because he was known to be a friend of James Hawkes, but ultimately Carman did not run either. With the support of Hawkes Tate won the seat.
Tate lived in Wascana, Saskatchewan.[1]

Fredrik Eklund: How Authenticity Leads to Success
-
Sam Gilliam interview
Transcription
Success can be so many different things for different people, right. In my world for the longest time success was living in New York and doing what I love which was being part, being one with New York City. Instead of being the guy that I am now – colorful and a bit eccentric and crazy high kicking Fredrik, you know, that kind of bubbly personality we all have when we’re with our best friends or family. I locked myself up and I tried to copy other big successful real estate agents instead of being me. The more I’m me, the more I put my guard down, the more successful I’ve become. What you do to feel successful, to act so you authentically feel successful I think you have to present yourself in an honest way to the world. And I know a lot of people that are successful on the outside but maybe I question how it feels because they might not be true to themselves. You shouldn’t wear a suit because you’re supposed to. I mean enter the conference room, the really conservative environment with in my case big developers and come in in a tee shirt and really say that I’m wearing a tee shirt, you know. Brand that. Whatever you’re wearing professionally own it and sell it. I have a trademark which is my high kick and I’ve been doing it since I was four years old and I think that’s the key when you talk about trademark because I think everybody should have a trademark. But it needs to be authentic to you. It can’t just be a gimmick that you make up. I mean I heard that Karate Kid think that I stole it from them but, in fact, they stole it from me because at four years old I was doing that before Karate Kid movie came around. So I’m still waiting for my royalties from them. You know I left Sweden 13 years ago and I left everybody that I love – my friends and family behind to become successful in New York. Yes, real estate and being successful in real estate at work is important to me. But also equally important to create a family. So I’m going to be a father soon and that is a different kind of success.
