Doug Carrothers

Douglas Alexander Carrothers (born November 21, 1950 in North Vancouver, British Columbia) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Liberal from 1987 to 1990.^[1]

Carrothers was educated at York University and the Osgoode Hall Law School. He has both a law degree and an M.B.A. A practicing lawyer, he is a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada and the Canadian Club of Oakville.

He first ran for the Ontario legislature in the 1985 provincial election, but lost to Progressive Conservative Terry O'Connor by 687 votes in the constituency of Oakville. He ran again in the 1987 election, and defeated O'Connor by 1,291 votes in the redistributed constituency of Oakville South. For the next three years, Carrothers served as a backbench supporter of David Peterson's government.

The Liberals were upset by the NDP in the 1990 provincial election, and Carrothers lost his riding to Gary Carr of the Progressive Conservatives by 108 votes. He has not sought a return to the legislature since this time.

(Note: The current vice-president and general counsel of North West Life in British Columbia is named Doug Carrothers, but it is not clear that this is the same person.)
