Preston Manning helped ignite the movement that changed Canadian politics with a simple message: the West wants in.
Now, well into his 80s, he’s still fighting for smaller, more accountable government, and he has plenty to say about Alberta’s upcoming referendum and the future of Confederation.

Manning is chairing a special forum in September that will discuss all of the referendum questions Albertans are being asked on October 19.
What would more provincial autonomy actually mean? What would it cost? Who would pay? And could meaningful reform repair the growing rift between Alberta and Ottawa?
On today’s episode of The Fighter, Manning breaks down the choices facing Alberta, why he believes Western alienation is rooted in deeper structural problems within Confederation, and makes the case for real action — not just letters and photo ops from politicians.
He also revisits his decades-long fight for Senate reform and explains why, if the Senate cannot be made elected and accountable, he believes Canadians may have to ask whether it should exist at all.
