Donald A. Bailey (Osborne)

Bailey is a professor of History at the University of Winnipeg. His book, " Canada’s constitutional troubles: what can we learn from European history?" was published by the University of Winnipeg Press in 1991.

In the aftermath of the 1995 Quebec referendum, Bailey called for Quebec to be recognized as a distinct society within Canada. He wrote that Canadians should "cease the rhetoric of alienation" against Quebec, and "stop denying to Quebec formal recognition of its special status, a recognition that will not harm English Canada one iota". [Don Bailey, "Recognize distinct society: Everyone agrees, so just make it so", 10 November 1995, A23. See also Carlton Student, "Yes, No? It's a coin toss", "Winnipeg Free Press", 30 October 1995, A5.] In 1997, he wrote a work supporting the principle of sovereignty for First Nations communities in Canada. [Don Bailey, "Open up constitutional thinking", "Winnipeg Free Press", 22 November 1997, A19.]

Bailey has been a president of the Manitoba Association for Rights and Liberties (MARL). ["25th anniversary marked", "Winnipeg Free Press", 27 November 2003, B5.] He criticized the provincial government's plan to introduce a welfare fraud hotline in 1995, saying that anonymous snitch lines were inappropriate in a free society. [Frances Russell, "Snitch line claims victims", "Winnipeg Free Press", 19 January 1995. Bailey was quoted as saying, "It has absolutely no place outside a fascist or communist society, and as a group we just felt we couldn't be more indignant about it." See Alice Krueger, "Minister stresses due process in cutting welfare benefits", "Winnipeg Free Press", 20 January 1995.] The following year, he was awarded the Clarence Atchison Award for Excellence in Community Service. [Glen MacKenzie, "U of W grads reach goal 150 get degrees at convocation", "Winnipeg Free Press", 21 October 1996, A8.]

He received 2,861 votes (29.19%) in the 1990 election, finishing second against Liberal incumbent Reg Alcock.
