Edward Doyle (born November 30, 1935) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1995 to 1999.
Background
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.
Politics
Doyle was elected to the Ontario legislature in the Hamilton-area riding of Wentworth East in the 1995 provincial election, defeating Liberal Shirley Collins and incumbent New Democrat Mark Morrow by a plurality of about 3,606 votes.[1] 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.[2]
Doyle supported amalgamating the city of Hamilton, and co-chaired a series of provincial consultations on the Canada Pension Plan in 1996. He did not seek re-election in 1999.
