Former Cornwall-area MP Guy Lauzon dead at 81

Social Sharing Guy Lauzon, who won Stormont–Dundas–South Glengarry five times for the federal Conservatives in the 2000s and 2010s, has died at age 81. Current MP for the area Eric Duncan posted about his death on social media Sunday. Tributes followed from people including the area's MPP Nolan Quinn, the warden for the three local counties and former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole. Lauzon was a union executive and businessman who ran his first federal race in the Cornwall area for the Canadian Alliance in 2000, coming second to Liberal Bob Kilger. He went on to win the next five elections there for the Conservatives. He stepped down in early 2019 and Duncan has held the riding for the party since. "He was a man who truly made a difference and set the bar for those serving in public life," Duncan wrote. "Guy Lauzon was such a good person. As [party] caucus chair he dedicated a lot of time helping out a rookie MP from Durham after being thrown into things in a by-election," wrote O'Toole, referring to his own win in 2012. "He was a true gentleman: respectful, kind, and always ready to listen," said Quinn.

Eric Duncan bests the field in Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry

CBC News is projecting a three-peat for Conservative Eric Duncan in Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry. Voters have historically switched between the Liberals and Conservatives, though it's been Conservative since 2004 and Duncan's two recent wins have come with more than half the vote. Before entering federal politics, Duncan was elected as a North Dundas councillor at age 18 and became mayor four years later. He went on to become warden of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. Those three ridings comprise the majority of the riding in the southeast corner of eastern Ontario, along with part of Akwesasne and Cornwall. The regular independent boundary review after the 2021 census united North and South Glengarry in the same riding, shortening the riding name to Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry rather than South Glengarry. Five candidates ran here in this election.
