		Preston Manning is an honorable man. At no time did he attempt to sneak his hidden agenda past the Canadian voters by blatant lies and doubletalk, the tactic most favored by his immediate successor (of whom Manning has some extremely harsh words).
		Manning's autobiography, far from apologizing for his attempt to make the tenets of his minority religion (criminalize abortion; restore capital punishment; deprive gays and nontheists of equality under the law) the law of the land, continues to justify it.
		Manning believes to this day that his interpretation of divine law is more valid than that of the majority who disagree with him, and should be imposed on believers and nonbelievers alike.

	Review of Preston Manning 's Think Big
		This is a man I followed, as a reporter in the early 1990s, to church basements and gatherings of religious folks in which he tried to convert them to his new party.
		What seems to trouble Manning most is that key Day operatives made "appearances for political purposes at worship or prayer services." It's OK to play hardball with Christian voters, just not, in Manning's mind, between the sermon and the blessing.
		There is Manning on page 30 claiming to have created in Reform in 1987 an "open, transparent organization in which every member was treated equally and fairly," after having just explained on page 29 how he denied Jack Ramsay delegate status at the same founding because Ramsay was, at the time, a Western separatist.

		Manning stands closer than ever to his goal--with, poignantly, his own leadership as perhaps the main obstacle remaining.
		For the irony is that Manning, the man who built Reform, is today its biggest liability.
		Manning evidently has something like this in mind: witness his call, in the wake of Charest's departure, for a "united alternative" to the Liberals--which, it seems, could take any form so long as it kept Reform's name and policies.

		Whatever it was Manning possessed that made people follow him, they followed him in droves, as loyally and fervently as I have ever seen voters follow a politician, with the possible exception of Pierre Trudeau.
		And now, with his new Manning Centre for Building Democracy, he is seeking to build an intellectual and political infrastructure that can seed and grow conservative thinkers, activists, lawyers, writers and politicians who will, in time, achieve the intellectual transformation of the country's institutions that his political forays began but never completed.
		In 1967, along with his father, former Alberta premier Ernest Manning, Preston wrote a treatise entitled Political Realignment in which the two of them advocated a "social conservatism." Not conservative on social issues such as abortion and gay rights—conservatism with a social conscience, with people rather than government as the agents for social justice.
