Toronto Canada: City I and Science Student

toronto canada: The book, you wrote, identifies and analyzes the populist sentiments that led to the election of Rob Ford in 2010 as mayor of Toronto Canada's largest and most diverse city, according to Toronto Star. I must say, I was flattered that the former Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition had taken an interest in the book, and it brought me back to my days as a political science student in the 1990s when we admired your own upstart populist rise from Alberta to Ottawa, even if we may not have shared the same politics. SEAN KILPATRICK / THE CANADIAN PRESS FILE PHOTO By Shawn Micallef Columnist Sat., Feb. 25, 2017 Dear Honourable Preston Manning,Last Monday you wrote an opinion piece for the Globe and Mail called Getting to the roots of populist uprisings, and opened with a reference to my new book, Frontier City Toronto on the Verge of Greatness. That took some gumption and vision. You correctly state that people are feeling alienated from their governments, parties and, as you call it, so-called expert advice. You made Canadian politics interesting, just as Rob Ford did for Toronto politics. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
