John Lundrigan

John Lundrigan

John Howard Lundrigan (born January 10, 1939) is a former Canadian politician, who represented the electoral district of Gander—Twillingate in the Canadian House of Commons from 1968 to 1974. He was a member of the Progressive Conservative caucus.

In his parliamentary career, Lundrigan is most remembered for having been on the receiving end of Pierre Trudeau's famous "fuddle duddle" comment.

In the 1974 election, Lundrigan ran in the district of Bonavista—Trinity—Conception, but was defeated by that riding's incumbent MP, Dave Rooney.

He was later elected to the Newfoundland House of Assembly for the electoral district of Grand Falls-Buchans, serving as a cabinet minister in the government of Frank Moores. He was a pallbearer at Moores' funeral in 2005.
