Paul MacEwan was a politician from Cape Breton Island,Nova Scotia,Canada. His 33 years in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly made him the longest continuous serving Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) in Nova Scotia history. He was a contentious politician,who seemed to court controversy. So much so,he was kicked out of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party (NDP) while he was a sitting member of the assembly in 1980 and caused them to lose official party status without him. He formed his own political party,the Cape Breton Labour Party,to contest the 1984 provincial election. He served one-term as its leader,before the party disintegrated because of financial issues. He eventually joined the Liberal Party of Nova Scotia,and became a Liberal member of the legislature. In 1993,he became the Speaker of the House of Assembly. His term as the speaker was marked with many controversies around bias and partisanship. His final years in the legislature saw him take prominent roles as Party Whip for the Liberals. After several health issues,he decided to not run for office again in 2003. He retired and lived another 14 years before finally succumbing to health issues in 2017,at age 74 in Sydney.
