“... an eloquent plea for liberty and independence by a... critic who combines singing prose with a gimlet eye.” — ROGER KIMBALL, editor, The New Criterion “... provocative and stimulating... indispensable to the national political debate under way.” — CONRAD BLACK “Gairdner sees bright and clear what Canada so greatly needs, and his mobilizing passion wonderfully animates an analytical precision that should be the reason for a national—binational—celebration.” — WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR. (commenting on the original edition) Two decades ago The Trouble with Canada sparked a conservative renewal and inspired a generation. Now, in this completely revised update, William D. Gairdner rejoins the battle, showing that Canada suffered a disturbing regime change in the last quarter of the twentieth century and is now caught between two irreconcilable styles of government: top-down collectivism and bottom-up individualism. The result is a regime besotted with high taxation and big government, a welfare culture that rewards laziness, and a hug-a-thug mentality that betrays justice. |
