Well that's interesting!
Hattersley was the interim leader of the Social Credit Party of Alberta more than a decade after it was banished from power, and he, himself, was never elected. He resigned as leader of the Social Credit Party of Canada in 1983 when the party voted to reinstate James Keegstra. Five years later, in August 1988, his 29-year-old daughter Cathy was robbed and strangled to death in the bathroom of an Edmonton transit station. Afterwards, he became involved in an Edmonton victim's support group and spoke in prisons on alternatives to violence. He (surprisingly) spoke out in favour of prisoners' right to vote.
