...I think his name was Presly Manning or something.

You mean either Elvis Presley or Preston Manning.
prestonmanning.ca
Former leader of the Reform Party and retired Canadian Alliance MP
He was a colorful little bugger, intelligent and generally liked in the country. He's now retired (had to go..was stalling his party)
A google on the name produces 72,600 hits.
I remember him saying once " We Canadians are extreme moderates ". <g> Given our penchant for peacekeeping in the world I enjoyed that remark.

He was cool with kicking PQ out, no?

To be honest, I can't remember. They tended to be an upstart fringe party a few years ago and the later stage evolution of that party may be making grounds. Paul Philps would hope so.
