Alfred Joseph "Alf" Stong (born August 2, 1940) is an Ontario lawyer, judge and former political figure. He represented York Centre in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Liberal member from 1975 to 1981.
He was born in Richmond Hill, Ontario, the son of Alfred David Stong, and educated at the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall. In 1965, he married Raymonde Marie Aubrey. Stong served as a lieutenant in the Canadian Forces. He was defeated by Don Cousens for the provincial seat in 1981. Stong is currently serving as a judge in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
In November 2010, Stong presided over the jury trial of Elaine Campione, a woman accused of the pre-meditated drowning of her two children. After the jury found Campione guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, Stong offered comments which attracted considerable media attention. Stong suggested Campione belonged to a class of “weaker and more vulnerable” citizens who as “victim/offenders” sometimes “act out of the expected norm", creating the impression that her crime was somewhat less heinous due to her own personal circumstances.[1]
