On Canadian democracy / by Manthorpe, Jonathan,author.;
"The foundations of Canadian democracy have always been underscored by its instability. In a country with such rich geographic, cultural, and communal diversity, the tenets of its democracy contradict the very nature of the nation. Canadian-made democracy was borne from the patriation of the Constitution from Britain only 42 years ago. Yet the trepid and impetuous actions of our political leaders have led to a complete failure in reforming this system. What remains is our current political system -- an increasingly dysfunctional democracy. Canadians feel increasingly abandoned by their government, irritated by elections that bring no change, and further dispirited as economic disparity mounts. On Canadian Democracy addresses the issues afflicting our country's democracy and it seeks out the remedies and treatments to this failing system. Sparking discussion, challenging long-existing structures, and asking difficult questions -- Manthorpe is determined to renew hope among Canadians through the means of reformation."--

Ripper : the making of Pierre Poilievre / by Bourrie, Mark,1957-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Six weeks into the Covid pandemic, New York Times columnist David Brooks identified two forces shaping Western politics, represented by those he called rippers and weavers. Rippers, whether on the right or the left, understand politics as a war that gives their lives meaning. They don't care what they destroy in achieving their specific aims. Weavers are their opposite: people who try to fix things, to bring people together and to build consensus. For a certain time during the pandemic, the weavers seemed to be winning. Five years later, as Canada heads towards a pivotal election, that's no longer the case. For the first time in its history, the country has a ripper poised to assume power. Pierre Poilievre has enjoyed most of the advantages that a middle-class life in Canada offers. Yet he's long been the angriest man on the political stage. In Ripper: The Making of Pierre Poilievre, bestselling author Mark Bourrie, winner of the Charles Taylor Prize, charts Poilievre's rise through the political system, from precocious teenage volunteer to outspoken Opposition critic known for savage soundbites and theatrics. Bourrie outlines the historical roots of this divisive moment in our history, one in which rippers are poised to capitalize on our division, and illuminates how Poilievre and this new style of politics have gained so much ground-and what it could cost us if they succeed."--

The Canadian manifesto / by Black, Conrad,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In this political essay, Conrad Black outlines how Canada can achieve an exalted role in world affairs. For over 400 years, Canada has toiled in the shadows of its potential and achieved an indifferent recognition among other nations. Our main chance, writes Black, is now before us and it is not in the usual realms of military or economic dominance. With the rest of the West engaged in a sterile and platitudinous left-right tug of war, Canada has the opportunity to lead the advanced world to its next stage of development in the arts of government. By transforming itself into a controlled and sensible public policy laboratory, it can forge new solutions to the problems besetting welfare, education, health care, foreign policy, and other governmental sectors the world over, and make an enormous contribution to the welfare of mankind. Canada has no excuse not to lead in this field, argues Black, who offers nineteen visionary policy proposals of his own."-- Provided by publisher.
