The Oxford Book of Canadian Political Anecdotes

By Cynthia M. McLeod, Jack; Smith and Jack Smith McLeod

Funny, touching, ironic, and sometimes alarming, this lively volume draws on a wealth of sources, including a number of previously unpublished anecdotes, to create a new image of Canadian politics. A collection that stretches from the earliest records of New France to the latest backroom gossip on Parliament Hill, it includes representations of politicians who reflect Canada's regional and multicultural diversity, including Francophones and Anglophones, prime ministers and back-benchers, practitioners and commentators, historians and political journalists.
