Henry Einarson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry John Einarson (born September 11, 1918 in Glenboro, Manitoba, died January 8, 1992) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1966 to 1981.

Einarson was educated at local schools, and later worked as a farmer and the director of a seed grain company. He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the provincial election of 1966, narrowly defeating Liberal Ronald Gardiner in the riding of Rock Lake. He was re-elected by a greater margin in the 1969 election, and again in the elections of 1973 and 1977. He was never called to cabinet.

Einarson retired from the legislature in 1981, when his riding was abolished. He did not return to politics thereafter. During his time in the legislature, he was a strong advocate for the Port of Churchill.
