| Socialist Cowboy is a political biography detailing the life and activism of longtime New Democrat MPP Peter Kormos, one of the most colourful and controversial political personalities in the history of Ontario politics. Throughout his illustrious twenty-three year career as a member of the Ontario legislature, Kormosâ s unapologetic commitment to democratic socialism and his shoot-from-the-hip brand of small-town populism won him strong accolades back in his blue-collar hometown of Welland, while raising eyebrows at Queenâ s Park and within his own party. From his days as a student strike leader, to his short-lived time in Bob Raeâ s cabinet, to his run for the Ontario NDP leadership and his epic battles with the provinceâ s political establishment, the book chronicles Kormosâ s political trajectory, through interviews and archival research, with a view to unpacking the ideas and traits that have made him a New Democrat icon. |
