John Rodriguez
John R. Rodriguez (born February 12, 1937) is a Guyana born Canadian politician. He served as the mayor of Greater Sudbury, Ontario from 2006 to 2010, and previously represented the electoral district of Nickel Belt in the Canadian House of Commons from 1972 to 1980 and from 1984 to 1993 as a member of the New Democratic Party.
==Early life and career==
Rodriguez was born in Georgetown, Guyana, and moved to Canada in 1956. He attended Toronto Teachers' College, worked for a time as a teacher in St. Catharines, and moved to Coniston in Northern Ontario in 1962, where he was appointed as principal of St. Paul School. He also attended Laurentian University, and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Spanish Literature.〔("Mayor John Rodriguez: City of Greater Sudbury )", Mayor's Biography, accessed 21 August 2008.〕
Rodriguez became president of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association in 1968. He led a protest outside Queen's Park in 1969, to urge the provincial government of John Robarts to extend separate school funding to grades 11, 12 and 13.〔"Catholic pickets to demand separate schools extension", ''Toronto Star'', 19 March 1969, 40.〕 He also served on the Board of Governors of the Ontario Teachers' Federation, and promoted greater cooperation between teachers and organized labour.〔Martin Dorrell, "Ontario teachers fear threat to status, reject alliance with labor", ''Globe and Mail'', 27 August 1971, C1.〕
Rodriguez joined the New Democratic Party upon its formation in 1961.〔Hugh Winsor, "NDP leadership contender has new approach to partisan politics", ''Globe and Mail'', 23 November 1989, A3.〕 He ran for mayor of Coniston in 1967, and by his own admission was soundly defeated by the incumbent, Michael Solski.〔Rudy Platiel, "The Sandpipers and the Golden Egg", ''Globe and Mail'', 26 February 1972, A3; Rob O'Flanagan, "Rodriguez takes run at mayoralty", ''Sudbury Star'', 28 July 2006, A3.〕 He was elected to the Coniston town council in 1971. When Inco shut down its Coniston operations later in the year and appealed part of its municipal business tax, Rodriguez argued that the company had a moral responsibility to continue paying into a community it had helped to create.〔Rudy Platiel, "The Sandpipers and the Golden Egg", ''Globe and Mail'', 26 February 1972, A3.〕 He did not seek re-election when Coniston was amalgamated into the new community of Nickel Centre.
