Lorne Nystrom

Lorne Edmund Nystrom PC (born April 26, 1946, in Wynyard, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian politician and was a member of the House of Commons of Canada from 1968 to 1993 and again from 1997 to 2004.

Nystrom faced a strong challenge for re-election in the riding, renamed Regina—Qu'Appelle in 2000, after the Progressive Conservatives unexpectedly failed to nominate a candidate.

However, Nystrom managed to eke out a narrow victory over Canadian Alliance challenger Don Leier.

In 2004, Nystrom lost to the Conservative candidate, future House Speaker and Leader of the Official Opposition Andrew Scheer.

Nystrom edited a book on practical progressive economics, Just Making Change: The 100 Percent, Honest to Goodness Truth About our User Unfriendly Financial System and How to Escape It, published in hardcover in 1999[2] and paperback in 2000.
