Betty Granger was one of three Harper leadership organizers in
Manitoba. She is a past candidate from the 2000 election whose remarks
about an "Asian invasion" created controversy:
"I'm not doing witch-hunts on people's pasts... If someone does
something wrong, there will be action taken. But if somebody doesn't
do anything wrong, we're not going to take any action... I don't
make volunteer field decisions... but Betty Granger is a riding
president, a member in good standing. She's somebody that other
members I've talked to think very highly of, and quite frankly, she
was the victim of an unfair slur story in the last election
campaign." (Calgary Herald, January 15, 2002)
"Betty Granger is party president in the Winnipeg area and one of a
large number of party presidents that are supporting this campaign. So,
I think this kind of thing is just kind of a low-level form of
McCarthyism." (CTV "Question Period", February 10, 2002)
