Timeline

1932

Edward John Ziemba (born May 2, 1932) is a former Canadian politician in Ontario, Canada.

1950

In the 1950s, he adopted a new name and was known as Eddie John Harris.

Ziemba said, "It was a good way to do business, to adopt an Anglicized name."

Operating under this name he worked as an amateur boxer, a television repairman and a private investigator.

He also operated a ladies fashion store on Bloor Street West.

When he married he signed the licence as Edward Harris, but he decided to revert to his original name when his first child was born.

These revelations did not come to light until after Ziemba was elected to the provincial legislature.

Morton Shulman who preceded Ziemba as the member for High Park-Swansea stood by him.

Shulman said, "I know nothing disreputable about him. He is a dedicated socialist and temperance man."

1970

In the 1970s, Ziemba was secretary for the West Toronto Inter-Church Temperance Federation.

William Temple, founder of the group said that Ziemba played a major part in keeping alcohol out of the Bloor West area of Toronto.

Temple described Ziemba as "clean living and concerned about the welfare of the weak and helpless in his riding. He goes out of his way to help those in need."

1974

In 1974, Ziemba ran for a seat on Toronto City Council.

He placed third behind incumbents Bill Boytchuk and Elizabeth Eayrs.

1975

He was a New Democratic member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1975 to 1981 who represented the downtown Toronto riding of High Park—Swansea.

Ziemba was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and came to Toronto as a young boy.

In the 1975 provincial election he ran as the New Democratic Party candidate in the riding of High Park-Swansea.

He defeated Progressive Conservative candidate Yuri Shymko by 1,773 votes.

1976

In 1976, Ziemba also sparked an uproar in the legislature when he leaked a list of 812 doctors earning more than $100,000 a year in OHIP billings.

1977

He was re-elected in 1977 this time defeating his old municipal rival Bill Boytchuk by 788 votes.

An outspoken and controversial politician, Ziemba spent six days in Toronto's Don Jail in 1977 for contempt of court when he refused to reveal his informant for allegations that the principals of Abko Laboratories were defrauding the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.

The owners of the lab were charged with fraud following a police investigation and Ziemba was called as a witness and refused to reveal his informant on the stand, saying he would not betray his informant's trust.

1980

"The Tories bought those seats. Those seats have been bought and paid for on the installment plan - and it adds up to $100,000 a year," said Ziemba in 1980 in regards to appointments given to former Liberal MPPs Philip Givens and Vernon Singer.

1981

He was defeated in the 1981 provincial election by Progressive Conservative Yuri Shymko, who made an issue of Ziemba's six-month expulsion from the legislature after he accused the Conservative government of persuading two opposition MPPs of giving up their seats immediately prior to the 1977 election campaign by offering them patronage positions, allowing the Conservatives to win the seats.

1982

In 1982, he attempted a political comeback by running for Toronto City Council in Ward 1 but was unsuccessful.

1990

In the 1990 provincial election, his sister-in-law, Elaine Ziemba, regained the High Park—Swansea seat for the NDP.

Following his political career, Ziemba worked as a representative of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union in Toronto.
