Citizen

In Citizen, Garrett Wilson tells stories of Saskatchewan's political, legal, and economic history from an insider's perspective. From his birth in the province's dustbowl in the 1930s to his rise to become a key figure in both the federal and provincial Liberal Parties, Wilson describes his role as the right-hand man of Premier Colin Thatcher and as the man who warned Pierre Trudeau's government that the party was about to see its support in the West disappear. An award-winning author, designated Queen's Council in 1968, Wilson also describes his service on some of the country's headline-making judicial inquiries.
