On Canadian Democracy

By Jonathan Manthorpe

A long-form essay on what ails and what could cure the Canadian electorate. Examines the many flaws of our political system -- and the repercussions within economics and cultural contexts. As Canadian democracy has become a breeding ground for further polarization, On Canadian Democracy is a timely and necessary analysis of how our political system can be reformed to better support the needs and concerns of its electorate. A valuable book for school accounts as we plan to target high school educators teaching Social Studies or Political Science, and undergraduate Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) programs. Shortlisted for both the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize and the Writers' Trust Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing for his book Claws of the Panda, Jonathan Manthorpe brings the same level of incision and detail to On Canadian Democracy. With a storied resume as a columnist at both the Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star, a political advisor to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and a highly sought after public speaker, we will engage in mass mailings to Manthorpe's large network of political newswriters. On Canadian Democracy is the third title in our series highlighting issues in Canadian politics; previously published include In Defence of Copyright and The Compassionate Imagination (a finalist for the Balsillie Prize for Public Policy).-- (10/27/2023 12:00:00 AM)
