Ralph Wesley Stewart (30 December 1929 - 11 February 2004) was a Liberal party member of the Canadian House of Commons, who briefly joined the Progressive Conservative party. He was born in Cochrane, Ontario and became a consultant, orchestra conductor and public servant by career.
He was first elected at the Cochrane riding inthe 1968 general election, and re-elected there in the 1972 and 1974 federal elections.
On 7 March 1979, in the final days of the 30th Canadian Parliament, Stewart switched to the Progressive Conservative party citing objections to the Liberals' handling of bilingualism and economic policy.[cite news | title=Criticizes Liberal policies, MP crosses floor to Tories | first=Jeffrey | last=Simpson | publisher="The Globe and Mail" | date=8 March 1979 | page=1 ] However, his federal political career ended when he was unable to represent the Progressive Conservatives at Cochrane, and instead his party's local riding association chose 22-year-old Carole Kosowan as their candidate for the 1979 general election.]References
