George Flake

George Flake is a former politician from Alberta, Canada. He twice served as leader of the minor provincially registered Alberta Party from 1997 to 1999 and again from 2001 to 2004.

Flake ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature under the Alberta Political Alliance banner, the former name of the Alberta Party in the 1993 Alberta general election. He finished a respectable third place out of six candidates losing to Progressive Conservative candidate Gary Severtson in the Innisfail-Sylvan Lake electoral district.

Flake would remain with the party after the election. He took over the leadership in 1997 from Mark Waters. The party decided against running any candidates in the 1997 Alberta general election.

Under the direction of Flake the party strongly advocated for Senate Reform in the late 90's. The party was actively advocating on behalf of Reform Senators-in-waiting Ted Morton and Bert Brown who had won their positions in the 1998 Senate election. The party also changed its name to the Alberta Party Political Association in late 1998. He resigned the leadership for Fred Schorning in 1999.

Flake took over as party leader a second time after Schorning stepped down in 2001. He held the leadership until Bruce Stubbs became leader in 2004.
