Hi everyone. I am not sure how this works, as I am very new to Wikipedia, so please bear with me. I've had an interest in Canadian politics for a while, and right now I'm doing a research project on John Manley. Seeing as I'm doing research anyway, I figured I'd see what I could find and contribute to Wikipedia. Any advise/suggestions would be appreciated.

Manley was involved in a controversy when one of his protégées who was working at the Canadian Space Agency after working as a special assistant to Manley demanded that the head of the Canadian Space Agency back-date one of her expense reports so that she could have several hundred dollars. He refused to do so and was fired by Manley. A subsequent Parliamentary Committee investigation found that his firing was unsubstantiated (more details required).
What does this mean? It says 'he refused to do so, and was fired by Manley'. Just before, it says 'her expense reports'. Why would the protégé be fired, because she didn't backdate her report? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.56.81.250 ( talk) 00:37, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
This is rather speculative. Can anyone provide a source? -- Saforrest 17:20, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

"Manley is regarded by some as being from the centre-right of the Liberal party, favouring fiscal conservatism, although his budget included substantial spending."
This sentence is POV. Spending and "fiscal conservativism" are not antithetical - it depends on the kind of spending. Most so-called fiscal conservatives are capable of quite vast spending in the form of subsidies, tax breaks, etc. for corporations, but spend little on social programmes. If the distinction that is intended here is that, while creating a pro-corporatist budget he nevertheless supported social programmes, that should be stated - and supported with references, if true.

[[ John Manley (politician)]] → [[ John Manley]] — Average user entering "John Manley" is very, very likely to be looking for information about the politician. Other uses can be done through disambiguation. Joshuapaquin 05:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I did a Google search of (Canada free trade agreement negotiations Geac computer metropolitan Life Rockefeller) and clicked on a link that explained some interesting things, then another one entitled "The Unhived Mind -> Just who is Mel Hurtig?"
In the information presented was a quotation from a Hurtig news paper article about foreign investment in Canada. Hurtig identified that over 2% of foreign investment in Canada was for new ventures and the remaining over 97% was for takeover of Canadian businesses by foreign corporations.
Hurtig claimed this wave of investment was triggered by huge Canadian funding / tax incentives introduced by the Liberal Party of Canada, and that the majority of branch plant companies import more components, layoff and downsize, etc, amounting to a net negative on employment and balance of trade, not to mention foreign control of the country. When the article was written, key mention of "this takeover of Canada policy" was initiated by John Manley when he outsourced a study of the benefits of foreign investment in Canada to a foreign consulting company (possibly linked to the CFR?), and that this report became the mainstay foreign investment policy of the party that eventually lead to the implementation of the policies that resulted in the Canadian funding of its own takeover by foreign corporations. Up until the time of the Hurtig article, Hurtig states that some 7,000+ Canadian businesses were taken over by foreign corporations.
While some Canadians are familiar with Canadian Conservative Party's Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's US-Canada free trade agreement negotiation controversies, they may not be aware that the sell off of Canada is not exclusively the fault of Conservatives, but, according to Hurtig's criticisms, can also be attributed to John Manley and the Liberal Party of Canada too.
Can any of the news paper article criticism of Mel Hurtig be referenced in this John Manley Wiki article to balance what appears to be the lauding of praise on Manley for his public service to Canada?
I was unaware that Manley was involved with the CFR, nor that he was a member of the board of Nortel Networks leading towards its failure and sell-off to many foreign corporations world wide? Oldspammer ( talk) 04:49, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
