Manning, Preston

A Dictionary of Contemporary World History

Manning, Preston (b. 10 June 1942). Canadian politician Born at Edmonton (Alberta), the son of the former leader of the Social Credit Party, Ernest C. Manning, he graduated from the University of Alberta and became a management consultant. In 1987 he was chosen to lead the Reform Party at its founding congress. He organized a brilliant election campaign in 1993, when he and 51 other party members were elected to the House of Commons. In 1997, 60 members were elected, and he became the official leader of the opposition. He worked hard to unite the conservative parties into a single movement that could prove an effective challenge to the Liberal Party, and supported the creation of the Canadian Alliance. His bid for the party leadership was unsuccessful, however, and in 2002 he resigned his seat and retired from politics.
