Canada's Great GRAIN Robbery chronicles a grain reform tale
Globe and Mail columnist Barry Cooper endorses Don Baron's book as revealing how a century ago Protestant pastors in the United States influenced Western Canadian grain politics. The narrative links early anti market sentiment to provincial power shifts, the rise of Winnipeg as a grain hub, and current calls to restore growers’ freedoms. The book costs $14.95 plus GST and is available at book stores and the Roblin Review office.
