Catherine Jane Clark (born November 6, 1976) is a Canadian television broadcaster, and the daughter of former Canadian Prime Minister Joe Clark and Maureen McTeer.
Clark was born in Ottawa, Ontario. Born the same year her father first became leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, Catherine Clark attended Elmwood School in Rockcliffe Park, Ottawa as well as Neuchâtel Junior College in Neuchâtel, Switzerland prior to pursuing studies in Art History at the University of Toronto. Later she worked in public relations for Hill & Knowlton and the SMARTRISK Foundation.
She emerged as a media personality in 1998 for her father during his second term as leader of the party. Although the media and the public were initially drawn to her youthful perspective,[citation needed] she also proved to be a competent campaigner whose public image attracted attention at a time when the Progressive Conservatives needed it.
She played a prominent role in the federal election of 2000, and was credited by her father as one of his most trusted political advisors. She has been an advocate for engaging youth in the political process.
Charles Joseph "Joe" Clark, PC CC AOE (born June 5, 1939) is a Canadian statesman, businessman, and university professor, and former journalist and politician. He served as the 16th Prime Minister of Canada, from June 4, 1979, to March 3, 1980.
Despite his relative inexperience, Clark rose quickly in federal politics, entering the House of Commons in the 1972 election and winning the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party in 1976. He came to power in the 1979 election, defeating the Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau and ending sixteen continuous years of Liberal rule. Taking office the day before his 40th birthday, Clark is the youngest person to become Prime Minister. His tenure was brief as he only won a minority government, and it was defeated on a motion of non-confidence. Clark subsequently lost the 1980 election and the leadership of the party in 1983.
He returned to prominence in 1984 as a senior cabinet minister in Brian Mulroney's cabinet, retiring from politics after not standing for re-election for the House of Commons in 1993. He made a political comeback in 1998 to lead the Progressive Conservatives before its dissolution, serving his final term in Parliament from 2000 to 2004. Clark today is recognized as a distinguished scholar and statesman, and serves as a university professor and as president of his own consulting firm.
