Timeline
Brian William Pallister (born July 6, 1954) is a Canadian politician who served as the 22nd premier of Manitoba from 2016 until 2021.
From 1976 to 1979, he worked as a high school teacher in rural Manitoba, where he also served as the local union representative.
He later became a chartered financial analyst.
Pallister began his political career at the provincial level, winning a by-election in Portage la Prairie on September 15, 1992, as a candidate of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba.
He entered the provincial legislature as a backbench supporter of the Filmon government and pushed for balanced budget legislation.
In 1993, he endorsed Jean Charest's bid to lead the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.
Pallister was reelected in the 1995 provincial election, and sworn into cabinet on May 9, 1995, as Minister of Government Services.
He carried out reforms that eliminated almost 3,000 pages of statutory regulations as part of a government campaign against regulations, presided over changes to the Manitoba Disaster Assistance Board, and oversaw provincial flood claims.
He stepped down from cabinet on January 6, 1997, to prepare for his first federal campaign.
Pallister defeated Paul-Emile Labossiere to win the Progressive Conservative nomination for Portage—Lisgar in the 1997 federal election, and formally resigned his seat in the legislature on April 28, 1997.
In 1998, Pallister campaigned for the leadership of the federal Progressive Conservative Party on a platform designed to win back voters who had left the party for Reform.
His supporters included former cabinet ministers Don Mazankowski and Charlie Mayer, Senator Consiglio Di Nino, and Jim Jones, the sole Progressive Conservative representative in the House of Commons from Ontario.
He finished fourth on the first ballot of the 1998 Progressive Conservative leadership election with 12.5% support, behind David Orchard, Hugh Segal, and the eventual winner, former Prime Minister Joe Clark.
He withdrew from the contest a few days later, and declined to endorse another candidate.
Pallister said that Progressive Conservatives had "voted for the past" and missed an opportunity to renew themselves.
He had been a cabinet minister in the provincial government of Gary Filmon and a member of the House of Commons of Canada from 2000 to 2008.
Pallister was born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, the son of Anne Ethel (Poyser) and Bill Pallister.
He holds Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees from Brandon University.
Pallister is also a skilled curler and won the provincial mixed curling championship in 2000.
There were rumours that Pallister would campaign to succeed Filmon as leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba in 2000, but he declined.
In July 2000, Pallister wrote an open letter to Joe Clark announcing his candidacy in the next federal election with a dual endorsement from the Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance associations in Portage-Lisgar.
The latter party was a successor to Reform, and emerged from the efforts of Reformers to merge with Blue Tory elements in the Progressive Conservative Party who opposed Clark's Red Tory leadership.
Clark had previously rejected Pallister's proposal as a violation of the Progressive Conservative Party's constitution, and did not respond to the letter.
As a result, Pallister left the Progressive Conservatives and joined the Alliance on August 17, 2000.
He won his new party's nomination for Portage—Lisgar over Dennis Desrochers and former MP Felix Holtmann, in a contest marked by some bitterness.
Pallister was elected to the House of Commons in the 2000 general election, defeating his nearest opponent by over 10,000 votes.
Hoeppner, running as an independent, finished in a distant fourth place.
The Liberal Party won a majority government, and Pallister served on the opposition benches.
This qualified him for the 2001 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship, which he finished with a 3–8 record in second last place.
He did not openly endorse anyone in the 2002 Canadian Alliance leadership election.
The Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservative parties merged on December 7, 2003, and Pallister became a member of the resulting Conservative Party of Canada.
He considered launching a bid for the new party's leadership, but instead endorsed outgoing Alliance leader Stephen Harper for the position.
He was easily reelected in the 2004 election, in which the Liberals were reduced to a minority government.
In July 2004, he was appointed to the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet as critic for National Revenue.
Pallister gained increased national prominence in September 2005 after drawing attention to $750,000 of apparent spending irregularities in the office of David Dingwall, the Chief Executive Officer of the Royal Canadian Mint.
Dingwall resigned after the accusations were publicized, but later claimed that his expenditures were inaccurately reported and fell within official guidelines.
An independent review completed in late October 2005 found only minor discrepancies in Dingwall's expenses, amounting to less than $7,000.
Pallister criticized this review as "little more than a whitewash", and argued that the auditors failed to include numerous ambiguous expenses.
He served as leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba from 2012 to 2021.
