The Populist Prime Minister of Ontario | Ontario Chronicle

Описание: In the inaugural episode of Ontario Chronicle, Steve Paikin takes us back to 1934. This is the story of the boy premier, the populist firebrand, the rabble-rouser, the late-night carouser, The Populist Prime Minister of Ontario, Mitch Hepburn.

You might think Donald Trump's arrival in 2016 marked a new era of populism in the world. But we've been here before in this province. And, boy, it was something.

Step back in time with Ontario Chronicle’s premiere episode as Steve Paikin uncovers the riveting story of Mitch Hepburn, Ontario’s ‘boy premier’ of 1934. Known for his populist rhetoric and late-night escapades, Hepburn’s tenure was marked by bold moves and controversy. From his clashes with the Prime Minister to his advocacy for pasteurized milk, his legacy is a complex tapestry of political fervor and reform. This episode is not just a history lesson; it’s a captivating tale of a leader who shook the foundations of Ontario’s politics.
