The Truth About Canada

A great book; well documented and argued. It holds up for display the many myths about Canada perpetuated by the media and pundits as opposed to the reality. The case is convincingly made out that Canada has in fact a corporate plutocracy and ideology calling the shots and running the show, under the guise and veneer of a democracy. This book should be a must read for every Canadian who really cares about our country and where it is heading, and the future for our children and grandchildren.
