Rick Borotsik Biography

Rick Borotsik is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on September 8, 1950 in Brandon, Vermont, United States. Rick Borotsik, born September 8, 1950, is a Canadian politician. From 1989 to 1997, he was Mayor of Brandon. He was also a member of Canada’s House of Commons from 1997 to 2004 and was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba. Borotsik is a member of The Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba.

Borotsik worked as an employee at Bramalea Limited, a shopping centre company, in the 1980s. In 1985, he was transferred to Calgary and then to Toronto’s main office. After three years in the city, he was promoted to director of 32 centres. He found it difficult to adapt to Toronto and returned to Brandon in 1989. In 1989, he ran for mayor and defeated Ken Burgess, a four-term incumbent.

The Liberals under Jean Chrétien were re-elected to a second consecutive majority government in the 1997 election, while the Progressive Conservatives won twenty seats for a fifth-place finish. Borotsik was his party’s only elected representative from western Canada. He served critic for agriculture, the Canadian Wheat Board and western economic diversification, and had unofficial duties for the western provinces.

Borotsik sought and won the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada’s nomination for Brandon-Souris in the 1997 federal election. The party had been reduced to only two seats in the previous election, and was trying to rebuild its support base. Borotsik was a strong supporter of party leader Jean Charest, and was considered a star candidate. He indicated that he opposed the ideology of the rival, right-wing Reform Party of Canada, which he described as a “flash-in-the-pan regional party” with no national perspective. He was narrowly elected over the Reform candidate, while pushing Liberal incumbent Glen McKinnon into third place.

Note: The Winnipeg Free Press newspaper does not report whether Borotsik was elected to Ward Three or Ward Four during the 1980 election. This article assumes that Borotsik was elected in Ward Three or Four, despite no evidence to the contrary.
