George Spotton

[1] Spotton was elected as a member of parliament for the Huron North, Ontario region, where he ran as a Conservative.

George Spotton is rarely recognized as a pioneer of Canadian cultural issues, mainly because of his unpopular stance on relations with the United States, in which he pushed for stronger ties with their Southern neighbour.

He also argued fervently against the contemporaneous influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe on the basis that they showed little interest in Canada and Canadian politics.

In his 1927 election campaign George Spotton held the motto "We Will Win" and though he won, garnering 1,915 votes, it was hardly an endorsement of leadership of any level.

George Spotton also provided free tuition for the children of soldiers serving overseas during World War I.
