We’re at her house in North Western Calgary. This is one of the days of the catastrophe in which the river flooded and much of the city has really been washed away. It’s been an awful catastrophe for many people. The date is the 27th of June 2013. So, Gail, thank you very much for agreeing to participate in this. I wonder whether you could begin by just telling us about your career, especially in respect to the oil sands, because I know you’ve had a very diverse career since you left. SIMPSON: Yes, well I would be happy to Peter. Thank you. PMB: Including where you were born, when you were born and where you went to school and so on? SIMPSON: Okay. Well, I was born in Edmonton, Alberta and haven’t strayed too much further away than that. I lived in Edmonton for about 30 years I guess, before I moved down to Calgary. I relocated here in 1997. So, I grew up in central Alberta and I went back to Edmonton after high school to take some further training and education.

  • Leadership Selection in Alberta, 1992-2011: a Personal Perspective

They abandoned their traditional method of a leadership convention (with delegates drawn from each constituency), and instituted a new one-member, one-vote system. Under this new system, the Alberta PCs have elected three new party leaders: Ralph Klein in 1992; Ed Stelmach in 2006; and Alison Redford in 2011.
