Joseph Lusignan

Joseph Lusignan

Joseph Prospere Lusignan (August 27, 1877—December 23, 1967) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1927 to 1932, as a member of the Conservative Party.

Lusignan was born to a French Canadian family in Marlboro, Massachusetts, in the United States of America. He came to Canada in 1880, was educated at rural schools, and worked as a farmer. He served as a municipal councillor in Manitoba.

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1927 provincial election, defeating Progressive incumbent George Compton in the constituency of Manitou. The Conservatives formed the official opposition after this election, and Lusignan served for the next five years on the opposition benches. He was defeated by Liberal-Progressive candidate Frank McIntosh in the 1932 election.
