Parliamentary Democracy in Crisis

[c9]

Robin Sears reviews a book I hope to snag sometime, once I'm feeling a little more federally-political. (I'm pretty provincial and municipally minded this month)

Following the revelation last Christmas of how many Canadians - starting with the Prime Minister - have a twisted understanding of how we choose our governments, some of the best minds in academe decided urgent therapy was in order. In less than three months - the speed of light in the academy - under the leadership of the venerable Peter Russell, they have assembled a powerful and lucid book of essays about how Canada's Constitution really works.
