Hall Findlay joins the Foundation after serving as Executive Fellow with the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy. She was also Chief Legal Officer at EnStream LP, a mobile payment joint venture of mobile providers Rogers, Bell and TELUS. Hall Findlay’s insights on critical issues such as pipelines, international trade, foreign investment, energy and the environment, and supply management have framed the national debate. Her numerous connections to the West include service on the boards of Alpine Canada and Alberta’s CKUA not-for-profit radio network. She has also served on several boards and advisory councils related to policy, resources and the environment. She served as a member of Parliament from 2008 to 2011, and as a member of the House of Commons Standing Committees for Finance; Transport; Government Operations and International Trade. She launched her 2013 campaign for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada in Calgary. “It was critical to the board that our new President and CEO understand the history and mission of the Canada West Foundation,” said Geoff Plant, chair of the Foundation’s board of directors. “There is no question that Martha does.” Hall Findlay said that, under her leadership, “We will continue to advocate for the West, at the national level and with other provinces and territories across Canada – reinforcing that, overwhelmingly, what is good for the West is good for Canada.” Over its four-and-a-half decades of activity, the distinguished leaders of the Canada West Foundation have contributed to a better future for western Canadians, said Plant.

  • No Longer Hyphenated, Liberals Cast Aside the Business Faction by Ian
    No longer hyphenated, Liberals cast aside the business faction By Ian Lee, Ottawa Citizen April 15, 2013 7:15 PM Pundits and analysts agree the election of Justin Trudeau as the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada has finally put to rest the divisive demons of internecine warfare between the Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin factions within their party. Indeed, in his acceptance speech, Trudeau urged Liberals to rediscover their “sunny ways.” And to emphasize the point, he said, “The era of hyphenated Liberals ends right here, tonight.” Consequently — so goes the argument — a united Liberal party will finally be able to return to power with its divisions behind it. However, a deeper and more empirical understanding of these events suggests Canadians witnessed the death of the historic Liberal party in Ottawa on Sunday. For a hundred years, the Liberal party was a grand coalition between “red” or social liberals and “blue” or business liberals who worked together very effectively to become Canada’s “natural governing party.” It is not fully understood by many analysts that while the Conservatives were historically supported by small business and other “outer” groups such as farmers, big business or “Bay Street capital” historically had far closer ties with the Liberal party. To that end, over the generations, distinguished and influential leaders from big business entered politics and became Liberal cabinet members. C.D. Howe under Louis St. Laurent, Robert Winters under Lester Pearson, John Turner, Donald Johnston and Roy MacLaren under Pierre Trudeau, John Manley under Chrétien, Martha Hall Findlay under Martin.
