She is the daughter of Bill Blaikie, a former NDP Member of Parliament from Winnipeg, Deputy Leader of the party, and provincial cabinet minister.〔 Her brother Daniel Blaikie was elected as Member of Parliament for their father's former riding of Elmwood-Transcona in 2015. She has an undergraduate degree in Canadian social history from the University of Winnipeg and a graduate degree in Community Economic Development from Concordia University's School of Community and Public Affairs. == Candidate for the New Democratic Party == Blaikie was a candidate for the NDP in the 2004 Canadian federal election in then-Prime Minister Paul Martin's electoral district of LaSalle—Émard in Montreal, Quebec. She received 4.97% of the vote share, and was not elected. She did however receive a large amount of press coverage. As executive director of the party's Quebec wing, she was one of the architects of Thomas Mulcair's historic victory in the 2007 Outremont by-election〔Joe Paraskevas, "'Toban making waves in Quebec politics", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 17 September 2007, A5.〕 and was widely credited with setting the groundwork for the party's historic breakthrough in the province in the 2011 election.〔Heather Scoffield, "(NDP now the controversial voice of Quebec in Ottawa: Will it backfire? )", The Canadian Press, 17 May 2011〕 She then returned to Manitoba to work for the provincial government. She ran in the 2011 federal election in the district of Winnipeg North, receiving 35.41% of the vote, narrowly losing to Kevin Lamoureux of the Liberal Party by 44 votes (0.17%). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rebecca Blaikie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
