John Polworth Lawrie (August 25, 1875[1] in Edinburgh, Scotland[2] – October 17, 1951[3]) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada.
He worked as an implement dealer[2] and insurance broker, also served as a police magistrate and commissioner.
This arrangement did not prevent the parties from fielding candidates against one another in the 1941 election, however; Lawrie again faced John Muirhead,[1] and won by only 44 votes.
In the 1945 election, he defeated[1] a candidate of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation.
Lawrie did not run for re-election in 1949, and died in Carberry three years later.
