Book Description
===================
Grant Notley, leader of Alberta’s New Democratic Party from 1967 until
his death in 1984, stood out in Alberta politics. His goals, his
personal integrity, his obvious dedication to social change, and his
“practical idealism” made him the social conscience of Alberta. His
death in 1984 saddened Albertans of every political stripe.
In the society and politics of Alberta, Grant Notley stood
out. His goals, his personal integrity, his obvious dedication to
social change, his “practical idealism” made him the social conscience
of Alberta. He bridged the old and the new, he provided the necessary
hard work to forge a link that ensured the continuation of a
progressive social party in Alberta. Albertans felt intuitively that
he represented a part of their collective being, and his untimely
death in 1984 touched them deeply.
Educated in the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, but
dedicated to the creation of the New Democratic Party, Grant Notley
was one of the living links between the prairie populism of the CCF
and the social democracy of the NDP; between the new urban base, and
the remaining rural support; between the old leadership of the UFA,
and the untested leaders to come.
Grant Notley commanded a tremendous personal loyalty from
those who came in contact with him. What prompted such loyalty? How
could a shy, solitary, and socially retiring person take such a grip
on people? The answer lies somewhere in his hard work, his own
devotion to social change, and in the ideals of those that he sought
to enlist.
