Murray Dowson

Murray Dowson (1915 – before 2002) was a Canadian Trotskyist politician.

Dowson was born in Toronto, Ontario. In the mid-1930s, Murray joined the Workers' Party of Canada while a student at York Memorial Collegiate. He later joined B. J. Field's League for a Revolutionary Workers Party before rejoining the Trotskyists. He took his brother, Ross Dowson, to some Trotskyist meetings, after which Ross also decided to join. Several other members of the Dowson family were also recruited to Trotskyism. He eventually politically reconciled with his brother and was a regular speaker at forums held by the Socialist League in the 1970s.
