Barry Turner

"This article is about the Canadian politician. For the British journalist, see Barry Turner (journalist)."

John Barry Turner (born April 11, 1946 in Ottawa, Ontario) is a Canadian politician and lobbyist.

Turner was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in Brian Mulroney's massive sweep in the 1984 election in which the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada won more seats than any party before or since.

Turner was elected to the riding of Ottawa—Carleton, which has been a traditional Liberal seat, and was once the riding of then Prime Minister John Turner, who left parliament in 1976 and was seeking election in Vancouver, British Columbia. Turner was defeated in his bid for re-election in 1988 by future Deputy Prime Minister John Manley in the new riding of Ottawa South.

Barry Turner has been a lobbyist for Ducks Unlimited in recent years, and was briefly nominated as a candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada for the 39th Canadian federal election in 2005. Turner's nomination was overturned on appeal, however, and he has refused to reoffer as the Conservative candidate.
