What kind of official website is that? He's no a politician anymore, so why would he have an official site? Is that some sort of celebrity promotional page? Because it doesn't look like those low-quality supporter site at all. And the website offers no fineprints whatsover as to who and why maintains it. --Menchi 02:24 7 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Registrant: Preston Manning o/a REFORM PARTY OF CANADA

Description: Web Site for Preston Manning former Leader of the Opposition

It was a Reform Party domain, but has stayed with Manning. Samaritan 01:02, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Liberals "leftist"?

Well, one could argue that they are, but it's certainly POV.

The info on Stockwell Day was errord, HE STILL IS A MP!

Canada & Alberta?

Leader of both, the Reform party of Canada & the Reform party of Alberta concurrently 1989-2000? If that's the case he could have become Prime Minister of Canada (in the former case) & Premier of Alberta (in the latter case), had his party won either election. Is this legal? under the Canadian Constitution? If not perhaps the succession boxes are in error? GoodDay 19:58, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AFD

I speedy closed the AFD on this article as a bad faith nom... as such I'm not going to put the box on the talk page indicating that this was up for AFD...Balloonman 09:20, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Media Section?

I just added: It was during this period, when Manning lived in the Stornoway residence, that he was featured in a skit on the Canadian TV show, Royal Canadian Air Farce on December 31, 1997. and he also hosted a radio series, as mentioned in the article in 2007. Do you think this warrants a Media Section? (Particularly as the skit may be chosen as this weeks viewer choice flashback.)

I just happened to see the image of Manning on the article page and thought it was a very poor picture of him. Too bad it wasn't replaced with one that resembles the man. Ottawahitech (talk) 12:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
