Morton was an early supporter of the Triple E Senate Committee and a public critic of the Meech Lake ( 1987 ) and Charlottetown ( 1992 ) Accords. He won the Reform Party nomination as a Senate candidate in 1998 and subsequently was one of two Senators-in-Waiting chosen by Albertans in a province-wide election. In 2001 , Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day appoined him parliamentary Director of Policy and Research for the party. That same year, he was one of a group of concerned Albertans who authored the “ Alberta Agenda “, also known as the "firewall letter", a manifesto that calls on Alberta to use all of its constitutional powers to reduce the influence of the Federal government on the lives and pocketbooks of Albertans. Morton has published five books, one of which won the 1992 Alberta Writers' Guild Award , and over fifty scholarly articles. In the 2004 Alberta General Election , Morton won the newly created seat of Foothills-Rocky View and now sits as an MLA for the Alberta Progressive Conservatives . EXTERNAL LINKS
