Rachel Anne Notley (born April 17, 1964) is a Canadian politician, lawyer, and the 17th and current Premier of Alberta, since 2015. She is currently the member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta for Edmonton-Strathcona, and leader of the Alberta New Democratic Party. The daughter of former Alberta politician and NDP leader Grant Notley, Notley's legal career focused on labour law, with a specialty in workers' compensation advocacy and workplace health and safety issues, before she made the jump into provincial politics.

Notley was first elected to the Legislative Assembly in the 2008 provincial election, succeeding former NDP leader Raj Pannu. Six years later on October 18, 2014, Notley won the Alberta New Democrat leadership election on the first ballot with a "commanding" 70% of the vote[3] and went on to lead the party to a majority victory in the 2015 provincial election.[4] After being sworn in by the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal of Alberta, she formed the first NDP-led government in the history of the province and became the first non-Progressive Conservative premier of Alberta since Harry Strom of the Social Credit Party, who served from 1968 to 1971.

Background

"My parents taught me that an NDPer in Alberta has to work three times harder than any other politician to earn votes. It's a lesson I won't forget."

Rachel Notley on her parents influence in 2007[2]

Notley was born on April 17, 1964[5][6][7] in Edmonton, Alberta, and was raised in the town of Fairview, Alberta, the daughter of Sandra Mary "Sandy" (Wilkinson) and Alberta New Democratic Party leader and MLA Grant Notley.[8][9] She is the sister of Paul Notley and Stephen Notley, author and illustrator of Bob the Angry Flower.[2] Her mother was born in Concord, Massachusetts[10] and moved to Alberta as an adult, and was a devout Anglican.[2]

Notley had a sometimes strained relationship with her father and his colleagues. She was reportedly "largely unimpressed" by Tommy Douglas when he visited their home and is said to have dissed Ed Broadbent as an adolescent.[11] While at an Alberta NDP public meeting in Grand Prairie discussing poverty and student debt, she publicly challenged her own father, asking for his advice as a poor student whose parents made too much money for her to get a loan while at the same time being too cheap to give her enough money to buy food. Her infuriated father waited until the meeting was over to give her a lone twenty dollar bill to tide her over until the end of the month.[11]

Notley credits her mother Sandy with getting her involved in activism,[11] with her taking Notley to an anti-war demonstration before she was even ten years old.[12] She remained unsure about whether or not to enter public office until she was in her 30s.[12] Alongside her own family background, Notley has also cited her High School social studies teacher Jim Clevette as having made a lasting impact when it comes to her interest in politics.[13] She has also claimed Jack Layton as being a personal hero.[2]

Notley was a twenty year old undergraduate at the University of Alberta when her father died on October 19, 1984.[14] After attending a large party she received a call at four in the morning from Tom Sigurdson, her father's executive assistant, stating that there had been a plane crash and that she should return home.[2] This was not the first accident her father had been in; as part of his frequent trips across the province he had already been in several other plane accidents as well as an automobile collision with an elk.[2] Fellow NDP MLA and future Alberta NDP leader Ray Martin later called to confirm to Notley that her father was indeed dead. It was then left up to Notley to inform her mother of the news.[15] Ironically, the plane was owned by Wapiti Aviation, with "wapiti" being the Beaver First Nation word for elk.[2] A day after her election as Alberta NDP leader, she would lead the 30th anniversary memorial of her father's death.[16]

Notley earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Political Science at the University of Alberta, and a law degree at Osgoode Hall Law School.[1] While at Osgoode Hall she was a delegate to the 1989 Federal NDP leadership convention where she endorsed second-place finisher and former B.C. Premier Dave Barrett.[14]

She is married to Lou Arab, a communications and public relations staffer for the Canadian Union of Public Employees[2] and a campaign strategist for the party. She lives with him and their two children in the historic district of Old Strathcona located in south-central Edmonton.[17]

Notley is a cyclist,[18] jogger,[12] and skier,[12] as well as a reformed smoker.[11]

Activism

After law school, Notley articled for Edmonton labour lawyer Bob Blakely, and went on to work for the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees representing members with Workers' Compensation cases.

In 1994, Notley moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, where she worked for the Health Sciences Association of BC as their occupational health and safety officer.[19] During her time in BC, she worked for one year as a ministerial assistant to the provincial Attorney General Ujjal Dosanjh.[14] In this role, she was part of the team that first expanded the application of BC's family relations laws to same sex couples, several years before the Government of Canada took similar initiatives.

Notley acted as a representative of the provincial labour movement in the negotiation and drafting of new workplace health and safety standards.[1]

During her time in Vancouver, Notley was active with “Moms on the Move”, an organization that advocated for the rights of special needs children. She is also a past board member of the Vancouver Community College.[8] Notley returned to Edmonton in 2002. She worked for a short time for the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE),[20] worked at Athabasca University,[21] acted as volunteer co-ordinator for the Friends of Medicare "Romanow Now" campaign, and finally as a labour relations officer for the United Nurses of Alberta.[1]

Notley did volunteer work with the Strathcona Community League in 2006,[8] assisting with a drive to garner support for the installation of sidewalks in east Strathcona.

Early political career

Entry into provincial politics

Rachel Notley as an MLA in 2009

Notley headed the election-planning subcommittee for the Alberta NDP in 1991, two years before the 1993 provincial election which shut the party out of the legislature.[14] She became involved again with Alberta provincial politics in 2000 following the resignation of Pam Barrett as both Alberta NDP leader and the MLA for Edmonton-Highlands. Notley and her husband were recruited to help Brian Mason successfully retain the seat for the Alberta NDP in the face of a concerted effort by the Alberta Liberal Party to take it back.[14]

In October 2006, she was nominated by acclamation as the Alberta NDP candidate in the provincial constituency of Edmonton-Strathcona, succeeding former Alberta NDP leader Raj Pannu.[2] The event was attended by then Federal NDP leader Jack Layton.[2] Notley had previously considered running in the 2004 provincial election, but had refrained from doing so because her two children were still toddlers at the time.[12] She was subsequently elected as an MLA in the 2008 Alberta provincial election. She was re-elected in the 2012 Alberta provincial election with the highest share of the vote of any MLA in Alberta at that time.[22]

One month after her election as an MLA in 2008 two Greenpeace protesters sneaked into the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton during a fundraising dinner for then Progressive Conservative premier Ed Stelmach to unfurl a banner that read "Stelmach: The Best Premier Oil Money Can Buy" in protest of his government's environmental polices.[23] One of the protesters was later found to be a woman who worked two days a week in Notley's constituency office. Notley described the issue as being a "personnel matter", saying that it was something she was "going to discuss with her in person and not through the media."[24]

During her time in office, then Alberta NDP leader Brian Mason found her to be quick on her feet with an outgoing and warm personality, but said that she had difficulty heckling in the legislature.[15] He also described her as being very nervous immediately after she was first elected as an MLA, with her not wanting to be left alone as the party's sole member in the legislature even when Mason was only leaving to go to the washroom.[25] Despite these initial problems, Mason said she would go on to become "an articulate and passionate politician, a parliamentarian and a very, very effective communicator."[26]

On October 18, 2014, Notley won the leadership of Alberta's New Democratic Party with 70% support, succeeding Brian Mason and becoming the 9th leader of the party. She defeated fellow MLA David Eggen and union leader Rod Loyola on the first ballot.[27]

In addition to serving as party leader, Notley was critic for Health, International and Intergovernmental Relations, Status of Women, Justice, and Executive Council.[28]

2015 election

Main article: Alberta general election, 2015

"Tonight, I also want to say that I'm also thinking about my mother and father. I know my mother would be completely over the moon about this. I think my dad would too. I'm sorry he couldn't see this. This really was his life’s work but I can say this: I know how proud he'd be of the province we all love."

Rachel Notley during her 2015 victory speech[15]

Notley's first leadership test was in the May 5, 2015 provincial election. The NDP had never come particularly close to government in what had long been the most conservative province in Canada. While it had peaked at 16 seats and Official Opposition status in 1986 and 1989, it had never really recovered from being completely shut out of the legislature in 1993. Since then, it had never held more than the four seats it held when the writs were dropped—the minimum for official party status in the Legislative Assembly.

An Alberta NDP campaign sign bearing Rachel Notley's name during the 2015 provincial election

Following the reveal of a new budget that slashed social spending and raised taxes and fees while still holding the line on low corporate taxes, the incumbent Progressive Conservative premier, Jim Prentice, advised the Lieutenant Governor to call the election.[4] With the Official Opposition Wildrose Party still reeling from a series of floor crossings and mass defections, most pundits and commentators felt that the PCs had a good shot at winning their thirteenth consecutive majority in parliament.[29] Even though the party was already enjoying strong polling in Edmonton,[30] the Alberta NDP was still only widely expected to form the official opposition.[31][32]

By the middle of the campaign, however, it had become evident to pollsters that the election had become a three-way race between the Progressive Conservatives, the Alberta NDP, and the Wildrose Party.[33] Notley had managed to capitalize on the unpopularity of the PCs' budget, stating that she would instead raise corporate taxes and rollback fees and cuts.[34] The sole televised leaders' debate proved to be a turning point, with Notley largely being viewed as having had the best performance.[35] Jim Prentice also came under fire for saying "I know math is difficult" to Notley, a remark which was widely seen as patronizing.[36] Despite her strong performance, Notley herself admitted to having been extremely nervous leading up the event.[4]

By the final week, it had become clear that the NDP had emerged as the front runner in the campaign. Notley herself realized the party was going to win a week before the election, when she took a break in her hotel room to read a credible poll that put the NDP well ahead of the other parties, a prospect that left her feeling physically stunned. While she initially planned a whirlwind schedule to close out the campaign, she realized that this would have left her appearing haggard and frayed during her victory speech, and instead began making plans for a transition.[4]

On election night, the NDP won 54 seats, re-electing all four of their incumbents as well as 50 new members to the legislative assembly. The NDP took every seat in Edmonton, all by wide margins. The NDP had been expected to make a strong showing in Edmonton, which has traditionally been much friendlier to centre-left candidates than the rest of Alberta. However, its clean sweep of the city exceeded even the most optimistic projections. Even more surprisingly, the NDP took 15 seats in Calgary, long reckoned as the power base for both the Tories and the federal Conservatives. This was mainly due to massive vote splitting between the Tories and Wildrose—a phenomenon which allowed the NDP to sweep Red Deer. The NDP also swept the city of Lethbridge in its own right and won 16 seats in the rest of Alberta, mostly in the northern and central parts of the province.

Premier

Notley held her first caucus meeting as Premier-designate on May 9, 2015.[37] Three days later, Notley announced that she would be retaining the previous head of the Alberta public service, Richard Dicerni, as well as appointing NDP party strategists Brian Topp and Adrienne King as her chief of staff and deputy chief of staff, respectively.[38] She also met with outgoing Premier Jim Prentice that same day, in addition to extending the deadline for the province's school boards to submit their budgets, her first major deviation from the previous PC government's financial commitments as Premier-designate.[39]

On May 22, 2015, Notley suspended Calgary-Bow MLA Deborah Drever from the Alberta NDP caucus after a series of controversial postings by Drever were discovered on social media websites such as Instagram and Facebook.[40] Notley had previously announced that she had directed Drever, as a result of the media attention, to create a plan to improve education on violence against women, particularly outreach to groups working with vulnerable young women.[41] This was before a later image surfaced which was considered to be homophobic, something which Notley apologized for on behalf of the party.[40]

Aboriginal relations

In 2015 Rachel Notley apologized to the aboriginal community of Alberta about a long history of neglect by prior governments. In particular she apologized for the province not addressing the issue with decades of abuse at government and church operated Residential schools.[42] Notley pledged that her government will engage and improve living conditions of Alberta's Aboriginal community. For instance, she joined among the chorus of Canadian Primers demanding a Federal inquiry into the issue of missing and murdered Aborginal women. The inquiry is intended to prevent future cases of abductions with early intervention and investigations of root issues affecting high risked Aborginal females [43]

Swearing-in

Rachel Notley after being sworn in as the 17th Premier of Alberta alongside her cabinet on the steps of the Alberta Legislature Building

Notley was sworn-in as the 17th Premier of Alberta along with her cabinet on May 24, 2015.[44] When she took office she ended an 80-year streak of centre-right governments in Alberta (Social Credit from 1935 to 1971 and the Tories from 1971 to 2015). Her twelve-member cabinet is the smallest in the country, containing only 14% of the legislature's members.[45] The slimmed down cabinet was met with a mixed response from pundits; some said it showed the NDP's lack of experienced people while others felt that it brought a much needed sense of economy and individual importance to the various positions.[46]

The swearing-in ceremony was an unusually public event, held on the steps of the Alberta Legislature Building in front of a large crowd of spectators while a folk band played the national anthem and free popsicles and food were distributed from food trucks.[47] The Alberta NDP was criticized, though, for using the event as a part of its party fundraising, for which they later apologized.[48] The ceremony cost $19,298; more expensive than the swearing-in ceremonies of the previous two premiers, but still less than the expenditure for the swearing-in of Alison Redford in 2011.[49]

Speech from the Throne

The government's first throne speech was read by the Lieutenant Governor on June 15, 2015.[50] The speech announced three bills intended to ban corporate and union donations to political parties and to increase taxes on large corporations and high income earners, both of which were promised as part of the Alberta NDP's election platform.[51] Notley also announced the creation of a seventeen-member all-party committee tasked to look into ways to improve government accountability in areas such as whistleblower protection, electioneering, and conflicts of interest.[52] The government also reached out to the Opposition benches by having the committee be initiated through a joint motion with Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean, with Liberal leader David Swann also being tasked with helping conduct a review of provincial mental health policy along with NDP MLA Danielle Larivee.[53]
