Earl W. Rowe (born c. 1951) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1985 to 1987, as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.

Background[]

Prior to his entry into politics, Rowe was the manager of the Barrie Raceway. He is the grandson of former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario William Earl Rowe.[1]

Politics[]

Rowe was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1985 provincial election, defeating Liberal Party candidate Ross Whiteside by 534 votes in Simcoe Centre.[2] The Progressive Conservatives won a tenuous minority government in this election, and were soon defeated in the legislature by a motion of non-confidence. After this, Rowe served as an opposition member for two years.

He was defeated in the 1987 provincial election, losing to Liberal Bruce Owen by 2,492 votes.[3]
