Ted Byfield, who has died aged 93, was a firebrand magazine publisher who harnessed the ideologies of Western Canadian alienation into a viable political movement that, for a time, was the bright future of Canadian conservatism.
He was also an educational pioneer whose nostalgia for the strict Christian schooling of boys led him to create three boarding schools that rejected the contemporary model of student-centred learning in favour of discipline, faith, rote learning, and self-sufficiency. (National Post)
