Geoffrey Douglas Scott (March 2, 1938 — August 5, 2021)[1][2] was a former journalist and Canadian Member of Parliament for the riding of Hamilton—Wentworth (now Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale). He was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada caucus.
The riding of Hamilton-Wentworth became open when Tory incumbent Sean O'Sullivan resigned to become a Catholic priest in 1977. Scott won it in a by-election held on October 16, 1978, and remained in office until 1993.
In his teenage years, Scott was a budding impressionist, a talent he occasionally displayed, but only on request, during his political career. He formed a partnership with another budding impressionist, Rich Little, in the mid-1950s.
For many years, prior to becoming a politician, Scott worked as a political television reporter and commentator in Ottawa's Parliamentary Press Gallery for CHCH Television (now CHCH-DT) of Hamilton and CFCF TV-12 (now CFCF-DT) of Montreal.
