| | While serving as an alderman (1965-68) and as mayor (1969-75) in Surrey, Vander Zalm unsuccessfully sought provincial and federal office as a Liberal. | | | The BC Reform Party, however, soon faded from the political horizon and Vander Zalm gradually faded from the political arena. | | | While serving successively as minister of human resources (1975-78), municipal affairs (1978-82) and education (1982-83), he was noted for his outspokenness; he attacked able-bodied welfare recipients who refused "to pick up a shovel," described Cabinet colleagues as "gutless" for rejecting proposed land use legislation and complained about bilingual cereal boxes. |
