| A lifelong Communist, Lucas ran only once — as the Labour-Progressive candidate in Bellwoods in the 1959 Ontario election — coming a distant last in a field of four candidates. He visited the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia many times in his life, and was visiting the latter during the Soviet invasion that ended the Prague Spring. Back in Canada, he vocally supported Moscow's intervention. He remained pro-Soviet until his death in 2020. |
