John W. Morgan, (born May 7, 1964), is a Canadian lawyer, politician, and businessman. He is the current mayor of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia.
Morgan is a graduate of the University College of Cape Breton and St. Francis Xavier University where he received a bachelor of science degree, majoring in chemistry and minoring in mathematics. He attended Dalhousie University where he obtained a masters degree in business administration and a bachelor of laws degree under the combined MBA/LLB degree program, graduating in 1990.
First elected in October 2000, Morgan has since been re-elected twice (in 2004 and 2008) with over 80% of the votes cast.
Morgan filed a lawsuit on behalf of CBRM against the Government of Nova Scotia alleging unequal per capita provincial funding for his municipality. Morgan had applied to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board to reject the Boundary Review citing the citizenry want a downsized municipal council. The eventual decision was that the Boundary Review was flawed and will need to be re-done by 2010.
On August 17, 2012, Morgan, the popular mayor with a tested IQ of 176 released a statement announcing that he would not reoffer in the 2012 municipal election. The shocking statement left the residents feeling sad for not only would they lose the best thing that ever happened to the CBRM, they now are faced with the posibility of being stuck with Cecil Clarke as their next mayor. If the voters truly respect Morgan and want to see Cape Breton move forward, than please on October 20th, elect Rankin MacSween as your next mayor and send Cecil Clarke back to wherever the hell he came from. While Rankin may not be John, remember the one important fact, Rankin is NOT Cecil Clarke.
