Edward Doyle (born November 30, 1935 in Franquelin, Quebec) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1995 to 1999.[1]
Doyle was educated in Montreal, and did not attend university. He worked as a radio and television news journalist in Montreal, Kitchener and Hamilton, and was a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association.
Doyle was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1995 provincial election, defeating Liberal Shirley Collins by about 3,500 votes in the Hamilton-area riding of Wentworth East (incumbent New Democrat Mark Morrow was third). He served for the next four years as a backbench supporter of Mike Harris's government. He did not play a major role in parliament, though he stood in as speaker of the assembly from September 26 to October 2, 1996, after the resignation of Al McLean.
Doyle supported amalgamating the city of Hamilton, and co-chaired a series of provincial consultations on the Canadian Pension Plan in 1996. He did not seek re-election in 1999.
