Reading Time: 3 minutes It is the only way to ensure that future crises are managed better
Author: Preston Manning
Preston Manning tirelessly championed the cause of democratic and political reform throughout his impressive career as one of Canada’s great political visionaries. His presentations provide an inspirational and substantive discussion of both current issues and future challenges, all imbued with a surprising dose of humour that you might not expect from a politician. A reformer at heart, Preston is right at home challenging the status quo and conventional thinking.
Serving as a Member of the Canadian Parliament from 1993 to 2001, Preston founded two political parties – the Reform Party of Canada and the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance. Both of these became the official Opposition in the Canadian Parliament and led to the creation of the Conservative Party of Canada, which formed the federal government of Canada from 2004 to 2015.
Preston served as Leader of the Opposition from 1997 to 2000; is a Companion of the Order of Canada, a member of the Queens Privy Council for Canada, a member of the Alberta Order of Excellence, and has received honorary degrees from six Canadian universities. He is also founder of the Manning Centre for Building Democracy – a national not-for-profit organization that supports research, training, and communications initiatives.
He has published two books: The New Canada, and Think Big. He has also served as a senior fellow of the Canada West Foundation, the Fraser Institute, the Market Place Institute of Regent College (UBC), and as distinguished visitor at the University of Calgary and the University of Toronto.
