Background

He was born in Saint-Léon-de-Standon, Quebec on November 23, 1941. Prior to running for office, he was a Social Credit activist and managed a furniture store.

Provincial politics

Guay ran as a candidate of the Ralliement créditiste in the 1970 provincial election and won, becoming the Member of the National Assembly for the district of Dorchester.

Eventually, the Samson faction re-joined the party and Yvon Dupuis was chosen as leader. Nonetheless, Guay was defeated and finished third in the district of Beauce-Nord in 1973.

Town politics

Guay was City Councillor from 1974 to 1975 and Mayor from 1975 to 1979 in Saint-Léon-de-Standon.
