Kenneth Norrie

Kenneth Harold Norrie (born 1946) is a Canadian economic historian specializing in the economy of Western Canada at the turn of the century.

Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Norrie received his undergraduate degree from the University of Saskatchewan and his PhD form Yale University. He was provost of McMaster University from 2002 until September 22, 2006 when he suddenly resigned and resumed teaching and research activities as a member of the Faculty of Social Science. Previously spent most of his career at the University of Alberta.

He is perhaps best known for his work with prairie wheat farming. He was a key researcher for the Macdonald Royal Commission of the early 1980s which recommended signing the Canadian-American Free Trade Agreement.
