Well that's interesting!
Kwinter was in his mid-50s when he was first elected as a Liberal MPP in a York region riding. He served nine consecutive terms over 33 years, but he was quite ill from shingles during his last term and had to recover in a nursing home. Initially intending to run for a tenth mandate in 2018, he chose instead to retire from politics, at age 87. His retirement lasted five years, as he died in 2023, aged 92.
