  • History Senate Election
    SENATE EXPANDING THE BLUEPRINT FOR SENATE REFORM '99'99 for the record: Alberta’s 1998 senate election introduction “The first action taken by Pierre Elliot Trudeau as prime minister at his inaugural cabinet meeting in 1968 turned out to be prescient. He appointed his first senator...Trudeau told cabinet that despite the appointment, he still favoured Senate reform as promised during the election. As we now know, 30 years later, it never happened. In fact, Trudeau’s last action as prime minister 16 years after the cabinet meeting was to leave patronage appointments to the Senate for his successor John Turner. It played a major role in the Liberals’ brutal defeat in the 1984 election at the hands of Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conservatives, who also promised reforms.” From a news article in the CALGARY HERALD, Feb 4/99, Pg. A8. Such is the story of Senate reform – while many Canadians express commitment to the idea, this “convoy” is not moving very fast. The road to meaningful Senate reform has been long, winding, and full of potholes, and while the debates, discussion, reports, conferences, and scandals have made for some pretty impressive scenery, the destination remains somewhere beyond the horizon. To be sure, the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords did propel us further down the road by securing a place for Senate reform on the national agenda, but that scenery too is fading from memory. And if the road were not yet bumpy enough, Ottawa continues to put up roadblocks by refusing to consider any alternatives to the Senate status quo.

Losing legislature seats and points in the popular vote, the 62-year-old premier will now likely be vulnerable to leadership challenges within his own party, which may hasten his departure from politics. Just days ago, Canada's longest-serving premier signed a pledge to stay on in his final mandate until at least 2008, but may now rethink his plans after seeing his party CREDIT: Bruce Edwards, The Journal suffer reverses across the province. Liberal Leader Kevin Taft and his wife Jeanette gathered with hundreds of boisterous supporters in the ballroom of the "The jockeying to replace Klein will begin right away and Mayfield Inn on Monday night. it will be out in the open," said Linda Trimble, a political science professor at the University of Alberta. "It could be very disruptive and make it difficult to govern." Though the Conservatives maintained their 33-year hold on power, the party saw its majority shrink by 12, to 61 seats. The Tories lost three seats in Calgary, the first wins for the Liberals in Klein's hometown since 1997. Conservative support across the province slipped to 47 per cent, down from 62 per cent in 2001.
