Throughout his life, Ron MacKinley has been a student, a hockey player, a farmer, a salesman, a husband, a father, a politician, a collaborator, a leader, a mentor, a comedian, a grandfather, and most importantly, a friend to all. One of the traits that propelled Ron throughout his political career was his unwavering character. Ron is the same person today as he was when he just entered politics - a no filter, no bullsh** individual. It’s this personality that led him through almost thirty years of provincial politics and that has allowed him to see great success in anything he puts his mind to, regardless of the challenge it poses. This book isn’t your typical novel. It acts as an almanac of Ronnie’s life with historical information, statistical data, entertaining cartoons and photos, and the odd Ronnie-ism as well. Ideally, you can pick it up and put it down at anytime as you follow through the timeline of Ron’s life. It is a testament to his twenty-nine and a half years as an elected official, and the many years both before and after his time in office.
