Manitoba History: REVIEW: John Bracken, A Political Biography That is one of the conclusions that emerges from John Kendle’s splendid new biography of the long-time premier of Manitoba (1922-43) and brief leader of the federal Conservative opposition (1943-8). Bracken, who had barely settled himself in his new job after coming from Saskatchewan in 1920, had no previous political experience, had not taken the slightest interest in Manitoba politics, in fact, he had been too busy to vote in the general election. Bracken believed all reasonable men should be able to reason together about cutting expenditures or asking Ottawa for more money, and he was always willing to take such reasonable men into his cabinet when the prospect arose. www.mhs.mb.ca /docs/mb_history/01/brackenbiography.shtml   (1152 words)

TIME.com: Right to Left in Canada -- Dec. 21, 1942 -- Page 1 John Bracken, the shrewdest practical politician western Canada ever produced, was presented last week with leadership of Canada's Conservative Party. In Bracken the die-hards saw a realist with statesmanlike qualities that were most eloquently expressed in his backing of the ill-fated Sirois report (TIME, Jan. 27, 1941). A farm boy, Bracken is a friend of everyone, from Social Crediters to Tory capitalists, whom he has nonetheless criticized for draining the wealth of the prairies into industrial Ontario. www.time.com /time/magazine/article/0,9171,886021,00.html   (742 words)

"Bracken's World" (1969)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) This very short-lived series was totally entertaining and got me to the TV each week it was on as it shows one or two of the ways that movies get cast and made and the intrigue and treachery that can if you believe it be involved. That's what made Bracken's World entertaining as from top to bottom the studio head, the agents, the starlets feigned friendship or it was real and got hurt or the men and their efforts or dating complications across studios. I remember being enthralled by the finagling of the actors and actresses on Bracken's World particularly Peter Haskell, Elizabeth Allen, Karen Jensen not Marten Jensen as I thought I had remembered and even Jeanne Cooper, Kay Chancellor of todays The Young and The Restless were regulars or made stops at Bracken's World. us.imdb.com /Title?0063877   (401 words)
