	Lorne Nystrom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Honourable Lorne Edmund Nystrom, PC (born April 26, 1946) a Canadian politician, was a member of the Canadian House of Commons from 1968 to 2004, except for an interval from 1993, when he lost re-election, to 1997.
		In 1995, Nystrom was considered a leading contender for the leadership during the campaign, finishing first in the one-member, one-vote primary system.
		Nystrom ran for the NDP leadership again in the 2003 leadership election, placing third.

	Progressive Policy Canada
		From the economy to the military to the environment, Lorne Nystrom articulates a set of policies that should be attractive to a wide swath of the Canadian public and should give NDP reformers heart.
		Nystrom's role as the NDP's chief constitutional critic during the latter stages of the Meech Lake Accord process and through the Charlottetown failure represent a net loss of political capital.
		Nystrom, although acting with all of the right motivation, is forever enshrined in the NDP collective consciousness as a person who defended, and worse, cooperated with Brian Mulroney on, constitutional compromises that are (wrongly) blamed by many in the Party for the NDP's slide in the polls from 1992 on.

		Regina-Qu'Appelle MP Lorne Nystrom, a contender during last month's NDP leadership race, has been given responsibilities for justice, electoral and parliamentary reform, the solicitor-general's department, human rights, financial institutions and pensions.
		Nystrom, the party's former finance critic who finished third behind Layton in the leadership race, said he considers his new justice portfolio a "change" and not a demotion.
		Nystrom said the gun registry -- for which costs have shot up from $2 million to $1 billion -- has been the biggest "boondoggle" he's seen in his 29 years in parliament.

	Feb 98 - New Democrat MP introduces bill on proportional representation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Nystrom claims that a proportional representation system (similar to systems used in New Zealand, Japan, Germany and Ireland) would give Canadians fairer representation and mean votes would not "be wasted."
		Nystrom says that in a time when the public is increasingly cynical about politics and about the value of their vote, the current system only makes matters worse by rewarding the vagaries of the vote split.
		Nystrom's bill proposes a system of proportional representation, where the number of commons seats received by each party would be directly proportional to each party's percentage of the popular vote received in a general election.

		Nystrom is a formidable incumbent to be sure, but he did lose in 1993 to an upstart new party in the riding he had represented for 25 years.
		Nystrom only limped to victory in the last election and now has to face a candidate that is by far his intellectual superior.
		Nystrom's flip- flop on Gun Control, and other issues, has created a dissatisfaction with his performance by many people living here, and who are affected by other pertanent issues.
