Historia
Gary Wilson (born 1946 in Timmins, Ontario) was a politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a New Democratic Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1990 to 1995.
Wilson received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Laurentian University in 1969. Prior to entering politics, he worked as a library technician at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, was an executive member of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 1302, and served as leader of the Kingston and District Labour Council. He also hosted a local television program, "Labour's Voice in the Community". Wilson first ran for the Ontario legislature in the 1987 provincial election, but finished about 6,500 votes behind Liberal incumbent Ken Keyes in the constituency of Kingston and the Islands.
The NDP won an unexpected majority government in the 1990 provincial election, and Wilson defeated Keyes by 2,092 votes in a rematch from 1987. He did not serve in the cabinet of Bob Rae, but was a parliamentary assistant to several ministers during his time in office.
The NDP were defeated in the 1995 provincial election, and Wilson finished third in a close three-way race against Progressive Conservative Sally Barnes and the winner, Liberal John Gerretsen. He later ran for the Canadian House of Commons as a candidate of the federal New Democratic Party in the elections of 1997 and 2000, but finished fourth on both occasions.
Wilson returned to his position as library technician following his defeat. He currently works at the Lederman Law Library at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, and has served as chair of the CUPE Local 1302.
