#22 Preston Manning: The Origins and Impact of Canadian Populism
from Concepts with Shawn Whatley · host Shawn Whatley
Preston Manning knows populism like no one else. He says Western Canada might have the most experience with populist movements and governments worldwide. United Farmers’ Associations, Social Credit, CCF, and Reform — they all shared a bottom-up, grassroots energy fuelled by frustration over disdain from elites and inattentive government. Having spent his life giving speeches and talking about Canada, Preston can fire off enough details about Canada to make anyone feel inspired by what we have and humbled we do not know it better. Preston combines passion and energy while remaining open to divergent ideas. He seems to just keep rolling forward, with alacrity! Video of the episode is on youtube.com/@ConceptsWithShawnWhatley
