Synopsis
Howard Pawley, former Premier of Manitoba (1981-88), led the province during one of the most turbulent periods in its history. Elected at the outset of a serious national recession, his government successfully implemented social democtatic policies that ran counter to the neo-conservative trends that dominated the period, including job creation, labour reform, and human rights legislation. But his greatest challenge was over French-language rights, an explosive two-year debate that left the province badly divided and embroiled in the complicated maneuvering between the national government and Quebec serparatists. The political and public fallout from the French-language issue echoed through Manitoba's subsequent negotiations with the federal government over a bid for a lucrative CF-18 fighter jet contract, through the implementation of the Free Trade Agreement, and again during the stormy Meech Lake Accord debates. In Keep True: A Life in Politics Pawley takes us into the inner workings of his government during this controversial period. He gives us a vivid play-by-play of the events, acknowledging what went right and what went wrong, while putting it all into a contemporary context. Along the way, he offers insight on campaign management, choosing a cabinet, appointing public servants, and leading by consensus, while describing how the principles of Canadian agrarian socialism shaped his political vision.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. INSCRIBED BY HOWARD PAWLEY on half title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; previous owner's name on title page; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Howard Pawley served as Premier of Manitoba during one of the most turbulent periods in the province's history. Not since the days of Louis Riel has the province faced such intense and divisive issues as the constitutional reform and French-language rights as it did during the 1980s, when Manitoba took centre stage in setting social policies that would affect Canada's national identity. From his first winning campaign while confined to a hospital bed to the sudden fall of his government at the hands of a rogue political insider, Pawley's memoirs are an engaging and refreshingly honest look at a political career that had a profound effect on a province and its people.
