Prairie protest has been a prominent part of Canadian life since Confedera- tion. Over the years it has gone through several stages,1 but beneath the changes has rested a remarkably consistent set of grievances. Indeed, listing the complaints has become something of a refrain for politicians, editorial writers, novelists and academics. High freight rates, excessive bank charges, railway discrimination, indifference in Ottawa, unfavorable tariffs, manipula- tion of natural resources—the list is well known to all students of Prairie regionalism. So too are the movements sparked by some or all of these grievances — the rebellions of 1870 and 1885, the agitation for provincial status, the radical labor movements, the agrarian unrest, the Progressive party, and the new parties of the 1930's
