Ricardo López (politician)
- Ricardo López (politician)
Ricardo López (born 13 February 1937 in Madrid, Spain) was a member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was a businessman by career.
He represented the Quebec riding of Châteauguay where he was first elected in the 1984 federal election and re-elected in 1988, therefore becoming a member in the 33rd and 34th Canadian Parliaments. He was a member of the Progressive Conservative party. His main claim to fame in the House of Commons was that because of his thick accent, when he rose to speak, both English and French interpreters would immediately start to try to decipher his speech.
Lopez left federal politics following his defeat in the 1993 election to Maurice Godin of the Bloc Québécois. He was also defeated at the same riding in the 2000 federal election, this time a candidate for the Canadian Alliance party.
In 2008 he is running in Beauharnois—Salaberry for the Liberal Party [http://www.liberal.ca/candidate_e.aspx?riding=24006]
