Well that's interesting!
Lawlor was the Ontario NDP MPP for Lakeshore from 1967 to 1981. Despite his poli­ti­cal allegiance, he was friends with Progressive Conservative Premier John Robarts. Stephen Lewis, who led the NDP for part of his tenure, described him as having an "analytical, insightful and outrageous style."
