 Kenneth Leslie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Leslie’s friends are virtually unanimous in assigning a reason for his failure as a farmer; namely that, in spite of his tremendous intellectual vigour and zest for life, as well as his socialist sympathy with the working class, he had a very noticeable aversion to manual labour.
Leslie believed that anti-semitism was but a smoke-screen for Fascism and that it was urgent that liberal-minded persons of all faiths confront the Fascist movement head on, in the churches, in the schools, in the media, and in the political arena.
Leslie accepted the divine imperative in his own life to be “up and doing,” but pursued his political objectives with a profound mystical (though far from naive) belief in love as the ultimate determinative force in the universe.

When Leslie Frost was premier of Ontario, he bragged that the view from the barber's chair in downtown Lindsay, a small city of 20,000 in the lakes district slightly north and east of Toronto, was all a savvy premier needed to know the province.
While many small communities in Ontario remain as lily-white and church-steepled as they were in Frost's time, the province is not even remotely the one he left as premier in 1961 and permanently in 1973.
In Frost's Fifties, people were generally either Catholic or Protestant -- the Muslim faith, to take just one example, wasn't even counted in the last census before his death -- and minorities were very minor indeed.
