Losing Confidence: Power, Politics, and the Crisis in Canadian Democracy
No Customer Reviews
A ringing manifesto for change from Canada's Green Party leader and Activist. We Canadians are waking up from our long political slumber to realize that there will not be change unless we insist upon it. We have a presidential-style prime minister without the checks and balances of either the US or the Canadian systems. Attack ads run constantly, backbenchers and cabinet ministers alike are muzzled, committees are deadlocked, and civility has disappeared from the House of Commons. In Losing Confidence , Elizabeth May outlines these and other problems of our political system, and offers inspiring solutions to the dilemmas we face. "We no longer behead people in Canada, but Stephen Harper's coup d' tat cannot be allowed to stand, not least because of the precedent. Any future government can now slip the leash of democracy in the same way. This is how constitutions fail." - Ronald Wright
