William Ernest "Ernie" Jamison (February 27, 1924 – April 11, 2003) was a publisher and member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.
In an effort to increase circulation of the magazine, he purchased the St. Albert Gazette from Ronald Harvey in 1966.
Jamison was re-elected in the 1975 election, but his performance in office had begun to alienate many members of his party.
Former St. Albert mayor Ray Gibbon announced his intention to challenge him party's nomination in 1975, and another former mayor, Richard Plain, blamed Jamison for his defeat in 1977, accusing him of using his control of what was then St. Albert's only newspaper to orchestrate a victory for Ronald Harvey, from whom Jamison had bought the paper eleven years previous.
He also ran federally in the riding of Pembina as an independent in a 1986 by-election, finishing fifth of seven candidate with 2.7% of the vote.
