John Loewen (pronounced Lay-ven) (born December 21, 1949) is a businessman and politician in Manitoba, Canada.
Loewen was born in Elkhorn, Manitoba, and raised in Winnipeg.
Loewen was considered a rising star in his party, and there was some speculation that he would run to succeed Gary Filmon as party leader in 2000.

 The Brandon Sun: Online Edition
John Loewen, the Conservative MLA whose warnings about the Crocus Investment Fund proved to be accurate, made a surprise announcement yesterday that he is quitting provincial politics to run federally for the Liberal Party.
Loewen’s announcement, made with Treasury Board President Reg Alcock at his side, is seen as a coup for the federal Liberals and a blow to the provincial Conservatives and Opposition Leader Stuart Murray.
Loewen “made the statement the Conservative party in Canada is not a moderate, centrist party and we think that is quite true with the provincial Tories and the federal Tories,” Doer said.

 The Brandon Sun: Online Edition
John Loewen, the Progressive Conservative MLA for Winnipeg’s Fort Whyte constituency, sent shock waves through Manitoba political circles Friday when he announced he was leaving the legislature to run for the federal Liberals.
Loewen’s defection to the Grits sent tongues wagging not only because Loewen will enter the race in the Conservative bastion of Charleswood-St. James-Assiniboia — a once-Liberal seat former Winnipeg mayor Glen Murray lost to Tory Steven Fletcher last year — but because Loewen was one of the stars of the provincial PC caucus.
Loewen blew the whistle on the problems at the Crocus Investment Fund and was heralded as a possible successor to party leader Stuart Murray one day.

 The Brandon Sun: Online Edition
Loewen’s chances of winning in the true-blue west Winnipeg riding aren’t guaranteed — which is why his decision to change colours is all the more shocking and momentous.
Loewen has been one of the strongest performers in the mostly-lifeless Tory caucus and had been touted as one of those who could eventually succeed Murray should he step down or be pushed out by the party.
Loewen’s decision should be a wake-up call to provincial Tories that despite some recent successes, there are still serious problems in the PC camp.

Three years ago, he nearly reeled in the big one, when he and his sleuthing partner, John Loewen, who was then the finance critic, decided to blow the whistle on Crocus.
But Loewen was told to call the hounds off and yesterday Stuart Murray in an appearance on CJOB's Adler On Line was remarkably candid about a moment in his career which cost him a lot of support and credibility among loyal PCs.
Tory industry critic John Loewen said blaming the lack of response on conflicting roles is "a slap in the face" to taxpayers and shareholders.

Newly minted Liberal John Loewen says the reason he left the PC Party in favour of Prime Minister Paul Martin's scandal-plagued Grits is that he felt uneasy with the social policies of federal Conservative Leader Stephen Harper.
Loewen was a major disappointment as a so-called fiscal conservative, because he isn't one.
And Loewen, who bares a striking political resemblance to Murray -- they share the same political views -- won't be able to win it, either.

 Hacks and Wonks v.3.0: He's Got the Seat Now For Twenty Years If He Wants It...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
While many people inside and outside the party lament John Loewen's decision to leave to run for the federal Liberals, I have to tell you that personally I feel that this is a major step up for the provincial party.
John Loewen had some name recognition and was a strong performer in the house, but my feeling sometimes was that he wasn't too engaged into the growth of the party, either within his riding or as a whole.
Some will suggest that this is sour grapes on behalf of a Tory upset with Loewen's decision to run as a federal Liberal, and it's fair to say that I certainly wouldn't be open with my criticism of how I saw his performance had he remained a provincial Tory.
