Stockwell Burt Day, Jr., PC (born August 16, 1950) is a former Canadian politician, and a member of the Conservative Party of Canada. He is a former cabinet minister in Alberta, who latter served as leader of the Canadian Alliance from 2000 to 2001. Day was MP for the riding of Okanagan—Coquihalla in British Columbia and the president of the Treasury Board. He was widely seen as a prominent voice for social conservatives within the Conservative Party. On March 12, 2011, Day announced that he would not be seeking re-election in the 2011 federal election. == Early life and career == Day was born in Barrie, Ontario, the son of Gwendolyn "Gwen" (Gilbert) and Stockwell Day, Sr.〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timescolonist/obituary.aspx?n=stockwell-day&pid=3134087〕 He lived in a number of places in Canada during his youth, including Atlantic Canada; Ottawa, where he attended Ashbury College; and Montreal, where he graduated from Westmount High School. He attended the University of Victoria〔http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/news-sources/?mid=cnw.20130904.C4094〕 and Vanguard College, then known as Northwest Bible College, in Edmonton, Alberta, but did not graduate from either. His father, who was born in Montreal, was long associated with the Social Credit Party of Canada. In the 1972 federal election he was the Social Credit candidate running against New Democratic Party leader Tommy Douglas in the riding of Nanaimo—Cowichan—The Islands. Day, Sr., supported Doug Christie and was a member of the Western Canada Concept. From 1978 to 1985, Day was assistant pastor and school administrator at the Bentley Christian Centre in Bentley, Alberta. His school taught the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum. In his political career, Day has never campaigned on Sundays, choosing instead to set them aside as time for worship and to be with his family. This came under scrutiny in the 2000 election, when his religion became an election issue.〔(LifeSite Special Report – Attacks Against Party Leader's Christianity Continue )〕 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「Stockwell Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
