Henry Oscar Waffle (1918 — March 7, 1980) was a Canadian politician who was reeve of Etobicoke, Ontario from 1957 to 1962.[1] While reeve he advocated for the construction of monorails and was accused of conflict of interest after the city purchased dump trucks from his dealership. In 1973, he filed a lawsuit alleging Dennis Flynn could not be elected mayor of Etobicoke because he worked for the city of Toronto, causing a new election to be held. He died in 1980.
