As well as serving as President of J. A. MacDonald & Co. Ltd. and Director of Associated Shippers, Inc., he was President of the Kings County Board of Trade, a Director of the King's County Memorial Hospital, and belonged to numerous social, cultural, political, military, and recreational clubs and associations.
In a by-election in 1945, John Augustine was elected to the PEI legislature while still hospitalized after being wounded in Normandy in July of 1944. He was defeated in 1947 and re-elected in 1951 when he served as Financial Critic and Party Whip. After two defeats in federal elections, he was elected to the House of Commons in 1957, and re-elected in 1958, where he served until his death in 1961.
