  • The Wildrose Alliance in Alberta Politics
    SPP Research Papers Volume 4•Issue 6• May 2011 IS THIS THE END OF THE TORY DYNASTY? The Wildrose Alliance in Alberta Politics Anthony M. Sayers and David K. Stewart1 University of Calgary ABSTRACT The Alberta Tory dynasty begun by Peter Lougheed is now 40 years old. With only four leaders across four decades, the party has managed to maintain its hold on the political imagination of Albertans. It has weathered a number of storms, from minor party assaults during the tumultuous 1980s to the Liberal threat of 1993 and the stresses associated with the global financial crisis. Now it confronts a new challenge in the form of the Wildrose Alliance led by Danielle Smith. Just as the Tories stole the centre ground from beneath Social Credit in the 1970s, the Wildrose leadership team hopes to take what was a fringe right wing party and turn it into a broad coalition capable of appealing to a large number of Albertans. What challenges do they face in repositioning the party? And how will the Tories protect their home turf? In brief, the Wildrose Alliance must modify its policies and present them in such a manner as to be able to plausibly claim that it now reflects the core values of Albertans better than the current government. For its part, the government must select a new leader capable of successfully painting Wildrose as outsiders who cannot be trusted to cleave to the values that Albertans hold dear. What are these values? Strong support for individualism, a populist view of government – including wariness of the federal government – combined with a deep commitment to a role for government in providing core programs in areas such as health care, the environment, and social welfare.

  • S:\CLERK\JOURNALS\Votes & Proceedings
    Legislative Assembly Province of Alberta No. 35 VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS Second Session Twenty-Sixth Legislature Monday, May 8, 2006 The Speaker took the Chair at 1:30 p.m. Speaker’s Comment The Speaker commented that Alberta’s longest serving MLA is Gordon Edward Taylor who was first elected to the Alberta Legislature on March 21, 1940 and he served to March 14, 1979. That was a total of 38 years, 11 months, and 3 weeks. But then there’s the question of who was Alberta’s shortest serving Member, and there are actually three ways of defining this. Alberta’s shortest serving Member is William Morrison. He was elected as a Social Credit MLA in the constituency of Okotoks-High River in the general election held on August 22, 1935. He resigned on October 7, 1935, to allow William Aberhart to run in the by-election held November 4, 1935. Mr. Aberhart was elected by acclamation. Mr. Morrison’s length of service was 46 days. On July 19, 1921, Percival Baker, the United Farmers of Alberta Member for the constituency of Ponoka died. He had been elected in the general election held the previous day, July 18, 1921. Mr. Baker was a Member who unfortunately was hit in the head by a tree when he was stumping trees several weeks before the election that was held on July 18. He was elected on July 18, was moved from the hospital in Ponoka to the Misericordia hospital in Edmonton, and he died the following day. Mr. Baker's service was less than one day, but he was never sworn in as an MLA.
