Sheila Copps Biography
Sheila Copps is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on November 27, 1952 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The year 1987 was the time that Copps was the only sitting member of Canadian history to have a baby in 1987, the year their daughter Danelle came into the world. Then, Copps commented that she was part of the “entourage,” making friends across the nation. When she was elected in 1988 Copps won her second term without difficulties in the federal election.
In 1992, Copps supported Murray Elston’s unsuccessful bid to succeed David Peterson as leader of the Ontario Liberal Party.
During the by-election, Reform put up billboards around her riding, one featuring a pig at a trough with “SHEILA” marked on it; and another with her picture and, “Promise to cut the GST: It worked last time!” Copps won handily, though with a significantly reduced percentage of the vote from 1993, and Chrétien reinstated her to her previous cabinet posts. During her victory speech, she noted that the Liberals “kicked butt” in the by-election; a controversial editorial cartoon in the right-wing Toronto Sun tabloid the next day portrayed Hamilton East voters as “buttheads.”
Copps became a national politician during the 1984 federal election in 1984, announcing her Federal Liberals in the district of Hamilton East. This election was an overwhelming win to Brian Mulroney and his Progressive Conservative Party that took 211 of the 282 seats. Copps was elected by himself over New Democratic Party candidate David Christopherson by 2,661 votes however, he had a small number of allies on the House of Commons for the subsequent four years.
After being an assistant in the constituency of party chief Stuart Smith for the next four years, Copps again ran in Hamilton Centre for the 1981 election. She beat Davison with a margin of 2,804 votes and was one of the thirty-three Liberals to form an official Opposition to the Premier William Davis’s Progressive Conservative government. Copps was the candidate for the top spot of the Ontario Liberal Party in 1982 after Smith’s resignation and despite having no experience, was a convincing second to David Peterson.
Copps was a candidate in the 1990 Liberal leadership race to succeed John Turner. She finished third, behind Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin.

Following the 1997 election, Copps was removed from the position of deputy prime minister, which was given to political stalwart Herb Gray. Copps made little upward progress in cabinet after this demotion, and by many accounts came to have relatively little influence over the direction of government policy. Many believe that Anne McLellan surpassed her as the most prominent woman in government during this period.
Her second autobiography, Worth Fighting For, was published by McClelland and Stewart in October 2004, and resulted in further public controversy with Paul Martin and other members of the Liberal Party. Copps alleged that Martin had put a pledge in his 1995 budget to rescind the “outdated” Canada Health Act, and further claimed that her intervention had the offending line removed from the document. Her allegations were denied by Martin and David Dodge (who Copps claims faxed her the draft of the budget), Diane Marleau (who was Health Minister at the time), and others.

The Liberals came to power in the 1993 election, defeating Kim Campbell’s Tories. Chrétien became prime minister following the election, and named Copps as deputy prime minister and minister of the environment. This marked the first time in Canadian history that a woman had been named to the post of deputy prime minister. Following a 1996 cabinet shuffle, she relinquished the Environment portfolio and became Minister of Canadian Heritage.
On March 6, 2004, Valeri defeated Copps by 2,802 votes to 2,491. Copps argued that there were improprieties in the nomination process and in the conduct of the vote, and called on various authorities to investigate (other nomination elections between Chrétien and Martin supporters had similar allegations of tampering). She initially appealed the vote results to the Liberal Party of Canada. Her appeal was late as it was filed beyond the 72-hour deadline after the commencement of the nomination meeting, but the Appeals Commission of the Liberal Party waived the deadline. Nevertheless, Copps dropped the appeal on March 29, alleging a lack of transparency in the process.
