The History of the Manitoba Liberal Party - Stuart Garson - Father of Equalization

As provincial Liberals we have a proud history. One of the Liberal premiers of Manitoba was Stuart Garson who served from 1943-1948.

Garson was first elected in 1928 to represent the constituency of Fairford in Manitoba's Interlake region. He served as Finance Minister of Manitoba from 1936-1943.

As historian J.W. Pickersgill was to say "More than any other man Stuart Garson deserves the title of 'father of equalization' and the new dynamic federalism which has thus far spared Canada any return to 'the winter years'"
