Breaking Point : The New Big Shift Putting Canada at Risk.
Building on the predictions they made more than a decade ago in 'The Big Shift' (ISBN 9781443416450), Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson argue that the demographic and cultural shifts they identified then have not only intensified but are now driving Canada toward a potential national crisis. 'Breaking Point' goes beyond analysis, offering bold predictions about Canadas future and is poised to reshape how Canadians understand their country. Bricker lives in Toronto, ON, and Ibbitson lives in Ottawa, ON.

From the authors of The Big Shift and Empty Planet, a timely and provocative exploration of the seismic forces reshaping Canadaâs political, cultural, and economic landscape.
Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitsonâs explosive new polemic, arrives in the midst of the greatest political crisis Canada has ever faced. The country stands at risk. Even before Donald Trump returned to the U.S. presidency, brandishing tariffs and threats of annexation, Canada had started to crack. Year after year of decisions deferred, problems ignored, and cans kicked carelessly down the road have created dangerous fissures.Â
Stifling regulations drag down the economy. Younger people feel angry and alienated by dizzying housing prices and gig jobs. Regional tensions threaten unity in both Quebec and the Prairies. The immigration system is broken. And Canada stands alone, having failed to pay the cost of defending itself.Â
Canadians elected a former bank governor to fix all this. But can the Liberals get us out of the mess they helped get us into? What future awaits the progressive and conservative coalitions? Will the Laurentian elites continue to misgovern, or are there alternatives? The country is at a breaking point. Canadians must act to save it before they lose it.Â
Provocative, urgent, and unapologetically candid, Breaking Point will ignite debate, dominate political discourse, and become the definitive guide to understanding what is shaping up to be one of the most turbulent eras in Canadian history.
