Ian Waddell

Ian Gardiner Waddell (born 1942) is a Canadian politician.

He was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1979 general election, representing the riding of Vancouver Kingsway, and later the riding of Port Moody—Coquitlam. He was a candidate to succeed Ed Broadbent as leader of the New Democratic Party in 1989. He finished fifth at the leadership convention. He lost his seat in the 1993 federal election.

Waddell then moved to provincial politics, serving in several positions in the British Columbia NDP governments of the 1990s, including minister of small business and then minister of tourism under Glen Clark, and minister of the environment under Ujjal Dosanjh.

He attempted to return to the House of Commons as an NDP candidate in both the 2004 federal election and 2006 federal election in the riding of Vancouver Kingsway, but was defeated both times by Liberal candidate David Emerson.

Waddell is also an author. In 2002, he released the political mystery "A Thirst to Die For".

Waddell strongly criticized David Emerson's defection to the Conservative Party after the 2006 election.
