Sackville—Preston—ChezzetcookEarl Gosse

Earl Gosse spent the early part of his life in the Newfoundland outport of Indian Cove, a lifestyle with none of today’s modern conveniences. His mother became a school principal, and his father a sea captain. After graduating from Memorial University in St. John’s, Earl taught high school for a year and then joined the navy as a Combat Systems Engineer. He spent postings on several destroyers and all three Oberon class submarines. This was followed by shore postings, which included Section Head at Naval Engineering Unit, project management in NDHQ Ottawa, and at Defence Research Establishment Atlantic. He culminated his military career as Commandant of the Language School Shearwater. This was followed by seven years as a Principal Engineer at General Dynamics Canada, and then a few more year as an Engineering Consultant, and part time instructor at NSCC.

Earl has served on several boards, which more recently included four years on the Halifax Board of Police Commissioners, two of which were as chair. And he is just completing 10 years on the Fisherman’s Cove Board. Earl has a BSc in Physics and Math and a MEng from Dalhousie. He has been a resident of Cow Bay for over 25 years and has a small business property in Eastern Passage. His recreational activities include skiing, swimming, sailing, and underwater hockey. Having spent most of his career in service to his country, Earl has been mainly apolitical. However his disappointment with the failed policies of the traditional parties, in contrast with the brave new approach of Maxime Bernier and the Peoples Party of Canada has compelled him to run for the riding of Sackville—Preston—Chezzetcook.
