Duane Crandall

Duane Delton Crandall (born August 14, 1946) was a Canadian politician.

[1] On October 3, 1989, Crandall and three colleagues — Graham Bruce, David Mercier, and Doug Mowat — quit the governing Social Credit caucus to sit as "Independent Social Credit" members.

In a joint statement, the four stressed that they "in no way desire[d] the fall of our government", but wished to spur an "open and realistic assessment" of Bill Vander Zalm's continued leadership.

[2] Crandall rejoined the Socred caucus on January 24, 1990, in order to better deal with a wave of layoffs in his riding.

[3] His decision caused the other three rebels to reflect on their future,[3] and on February 14, they also rejoined the Socred caucus.
