Ernest Milton Ettinger was a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Hants East in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1949 to 1953, and 1956 to 1962. He was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia.[1]
Born in 1888 at Portland, Maine, Ettinger was a funeral director.[2] In 1928, he started his own business, Ettinger Funeral Home in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia.[3] He married Margaret MacKenzie.[2]
Ettinger entered provincial politics in the 1949 election, winning the Hants East riding by 28 votes over Liberal incumbent Robert A. MacLellan.[4] In the 1953 election, after leading on election night,[5] a recount resulted in Ettinger losing by one vote to Liberal Alfred E. Reid.[6] Ettinger appealed to the Supreme Court citing irregularities,[7] and the election was voided in February 1954.[1] A byelection was held on November 16, 1954, resulting in a tie between Ettinger and Reid which was broken when the returning officer cast the deciding vote for Reid,[8] declaring him elected by one vote.[9] Ettinger regained the seat in the 1956 election, defeating the Liberal candidate by 50 votes.[10] He was re-elected in 1960 by 219 votes.[11] Ettinger died in office on May 29, 1962.[2] He was succeeded as MLA by his son, Albert J. Ettinger.
