Born in 1940 in Oakville, Ontario, Gairdner was famous for his prolific writing on conservative principles and societal issues. He authored several books, including ""The Great Divide: Why Liberals and Conservatives Will Never, Ever Agree"" and ""The Trouble with Canada."" In addition to his literary pursuits, Gairdner was an accomplished athlete, competing as a decathlete in the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. A libertarian in economic matters and a conservative in social issues, Gairdner founded Civitas, an organization dedicated to promoting the principles of a free and ordered society.
