Herbert G. (Herb) Grubel (born February 26, 1934 in Frankfurt, Germany) is a former Canadian politician. He represented the electoral districtof Capilano—Howe Sound in the Canadian House of Commons from 1993 to 1997.
As a member of the Reform Party, Grubel defeated former federal cabinet minister Mary Collins in the 1993 election. He served as the party'sfinance critic from 1995 to 1997, and was controversial for his outspoken support of Canada moving toward a flat tax system.
He also caused controversy by comparing Canada's First Nations to "spoiled children living in South Sea island resorts". Grubel argued that he was simply commenting on the similar social problems faced by First Nations people and South Sea islanders.
Grubel did not run in the 1997 election. As of 2005 he is professor emeritus of economics at Simon Fraser University and senior fellow of theFraser Institute. He has also worked at the economic faculties of Yale, Stanford, the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania.
