Johnson was a service representative.[1] She acknowledged that she had little chance of winning,[2] and further admitted that she had not thought out her position on many national issues. When asked for her views on selling crown corporations, she asked her interviewer to define the term.[3] She received 5,447 votes (10.44%), finishing third against New Democratic Party incumbent Bill Blaikie.
