Bill Vander Zalm became 28th Premier of British Columbia in 1986. He was born and raised in the Netherlands and immigrated to Canada after World War II, settling in the Fraser Valley in 1947. Vander Zalm was elected alderman in 1965, and served as mayor of Surrey from 1969 to 1975. He was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 1975 election. He served in the cabinet of William R. Bennett as Minister of Human Resources from 1975 to 1978, where he continued his crusade against welfare "fraud". He also served as Minister of Municipal Affairs and Minister of Education. In 1986, premier William R. Bennett announced he was retiring. Vander Zalm attracted considerable attention as considered a run for the leadership of the Social Credit Party. He generated more press out of the race than the other candidates did in it.

Today on the Naturally Inspired Daily Tammy Talks About:  

Rita Johnson becomes Canada's first woman premier. Rita Johnston was born in Melville, Saskatchewan on April 22, 1935. After moving to Surrey, British Columbia, she and her husband operated a mobile home park and became actively involved in the Chamber of Commerce. From there, Johnston got involved in municipal politics, where she sat as a city councillor from 1969 until 1983, with one failed attempt at the mayorship in 1975. In 1983, Bill Vander Zalm, who would eventually become B.C.’s premier, resigned from provincial politics. Johnston was elected into Vander Zalm’s former riding of Surrey-Newton, where she served as the Social Credit MLA for eight years before becoming a parliamentary secretary. When Vander Zalm returned to politics as premier in 1986, Johnston was sworn into cabinet. She served in a number of portfolios, eventually becoming deputy premier in 1990. When Vander Zalm resigned over a political scandal in 1991, Johnston was ensconced as interim leader of her party, and therefore premier of the province. Later winning the party leadership on July 20, 1991, she became Canada’s first woman premier. Unfortunately, fallout over the Vander Zalm scandal contributed to her and her party’s defeat in the October 17, 1991 election. After Johnston resigned as leader of the Social Credit Party in early 1992, the party moved into political oblivion as the Liberal Party of B.C. filled its role on the right wing.
