Canadian Politics Unplugged

by Eric Nicol, Peter Whalley

Overview

Canadian politics is/are not well understood, no authority being prepared to say whether it/they is/are singular or plural. Canadian Politics Unplugged bravely breaks new ground in ignoring this question. The book concentrates on the central problem of democracy in a country that is too big to digest without getting gas.

Readers are assured that the authors have studied Canadian politics for years, from a safe distance, and enjoy the unique perspective of never having been elected to high office, low office, or any place where wearing shoes is mandatory.

Canadian Politics Unplugged is Whalley and Nicol’s fifth successful collaboration.
