Vision
We embrace a vision of Canada strong and free; a people united in common purpose to serve our inalienable and inherent right to life, liberty, and property.

We believe that Canadians and Canada’s purpose are best served by timeless conservative principles rooted first in liberty, dignity, responsibility, and tradition.

We, therefore, envision a free and democratic Canada where political entrepreneurs have the courage, skills, knowledge, ideas, and public support to win campaigns and implement conservative solutions to the challenges of our times.

Mission
To identify, develop, and support political entrepreneurs who can advance our common vision of a free and democratic Canada.

Values
The Manning Centre’s mission is informed by the following values:
- Individual liberty, dignity, and responsibility
- Free markets, freedom of choice, and limited government
- Canada’s cultural, religious, and democratic traditions
- Strong families and communities
- Principled and prepared leadership
- An informed, deliberative citizenry
- Grassroots, democratic participation and decision-making

The Manning Centre recognizes and accepts various regional and philosophical dimensions to Canadian conservatism. Rather than championing just one of these dimensions to the exclusion of the others, the Manning Centre is committed to seeking common ground, resolving contradictions, and finding ways for conservatives of all ideological and regional backgrounds to work together toward common objectives.
