Deborah Grey Biography

Deborah Grey is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on July 1, 1952 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Deborah Cleland Grey, PC Deborah Cleland Gray, PC (born July 1st 1952) is a Canadian former member of the Canadian the Parliament of Alberta who was a member of the Reform Party of Canada, the Canadian Alliance as well as the Conservative Party of Canada. The first woman to be the Leader of the Opposition was to be elected in Canadian history. She currently sits as an advisor to the Leaders Debates Commission.

Reform has elected 52 MPs in 1993 to replace those of the Progressive Conservatives as the main right-wing party in Canada. Grey was elected to her first term as a full-time member during this election. In addition to her role in the role of deputy leader, she became the chairperson of the larger Reform caucus. The year 1997 saw Beaver River was abolished and the territory was divided into two adjacent ridings. Grey was transferred from Edmonton North at the request of a number of local conservatives unhappy with the representation of an incumbent Liberal, John Loney (elected in the 1993 landslide). Lomey was forced to retire prior to the election in 1993 and Grey took the victory in a landslide. She continued to be a part of the district for the rest of her life. Reform became the official opposition during that time.

Grey resigned those posts on April 24, 2001, in protest against Day’s leadership. In July of that year, Grey quit the Canadian Alliance and joined 10 other Alliance dissidents in the “Independent Alliance Caucus”. While Chuck Strahl eventually emerged as the dissidents’ leader, Grey lent the group instant credibility since she had been Reform/Alliance’s matriarch as well as the deputy leader. When Day offered an amnesty to the dissidents, Grey was one of seven who turned it down and formed the Democratic Representative Caucus (DRC), led by Strahl with Grey as deputy leader. In September 2001, the DRC formed a coalition caucus with the Progressive Conservatives, and Grey served as chairwoman of the PC-DRC caucus. She later said that she lost confidence in Day after seeing him attack his staffers after a public gaffe.

In April 2002, after Harper defeated Day in the race to be the Alliance leader, Grey and all but two of the DRC MPs rejoined the Alliance caucus, and in December 2003, the Alliance and the Progressive Conservatives ratified an agreement to merge into the Conservative Party of Canada. Grey was co-chair, with former PC leader Peter MacKay, of the new party’s first leadership convention in March 2004.

Grey is engaged with Lewis Larson since August 7 1993. They have no children. They have been grandparents since Lewis’ children through his first marriage.

Grey’s first attempt at office was during the 1988 election, in which she was her Reform campaigner at Beaver River, a mostly rural district located in the northeastern part of Alberta. She came in a distant fourth in the race, just behind Progressive Conservative John Dahmer. But, Dahmer died before he was sworn in. Grey won a by-election March 1989, nearly tripling her votes from 1988 to become the first Reform MP. This was the only time that the Progressive Conservatives lost seats on the provincial level in Alberta in the past since. The party’s leader Preston Manning immediately named her as the deputy leader of Reform. They were close friendships for many years. Grey refers to him as “Misterbrainiola”. She was her first assistant to the legislature. an infant Stephen Harper.

In Vancouver, Grey pursued studies in Sociology, English and Education at Burrard Inlet Bible Institute, Trinity Western College and the University of Alberta. After that, she was teacher in various communities in the rural Alberta communities up to 1989.

Grey served as Reform’s deputy leader and caucus chairwoman until March 2000, when the Reform Party was folded into the Canadian Alliance. When Manning stepped down as Leader of the Opposition to contest the Alliance leadership race, Grey was appointed interim leader of the Alliance, and hence Leader of the Opposition. She was the first female Leader of the Opposition in Canadian history. She held the post until new Alliance leader Stockwell Day was elected to the House of Commons in September 2000. He appointed Grey as deputy leader and caucus chairwoman once again.
