The chief markers of his next 17 years in Hong Kong were his advancement in the family-owned Ka Wah Bank, his marriage to Dorothy Lam, his emerging skills as a prudent and wise financial investor and his increasing sense of wanting to be independent – yet in harmony with – his family and other Hong ...

Ernest Manning is best remembered as Alberta’s premier from 1943 to 1968 – the longest-serving premier in the Commonwealth. Manning’s understanding of the Scriptures gave him an appreciation of human need as enunciated by proponents of the social gospel.
At Ernest Manning’s funeral in February 1996, Reform Party of Canada leader Preston Manning suggested that his father’s last political words could well be: “Do not let internal discord do to Canada what wars, depressions and hard times were unable to do When oil revenues brought Alberta into unprece...
