Product Description: Canada's political regime is centred on the existence of a federal system of government within the institutions of Westminster parliamentary democracy. This system places a great deal of political power in the hands of cabinet ministers, and while cabinet systems of government in Canada have evolved at different speeds in different federal and provincial governments, they have, over the last two decades, increased centralization of administrative and legislative control in ever fewer hands...read more

Is Canada a dictatorship â albeit a friendly dictatorship? In this thoughtful book, Jeffrey Simpson argues that the Liberal Partyâs re-election to a third majority government must raise the question: Is Canada in danger of becoming a de facto one-party state, ruled by an all-powerful leader?An effective parliamentary system presumes that at least one party is ready and capable of replacing the existing government by winning an election. Clearly, no party was ready in the last election, and none of the opposition parties absorbed the lessons of Canadian political history, that the Liberals can only be defeated by coalitions that show a preference for moderation and compromise.The recent election results have left the Liberals in power for the foreseeable future. Jean Chrétienâs longevity and reluctance to step down has highlighted the most alarming part of Canadaâs de facto one-party government: Canadian parliamentary democracy now places more power in the hands of the prime minister than does any other democracy. Chrétien, who has survived and thrived so long in this political system, is the last person from whom anyone should expect an interest in reform. At the same time, Canadiansâ increasing discouragement over their political system can be seen in a declining voter turnout, a documented erosion in respect for all politicians, and in an increasing interest in other forms of political engagement as opposed to organized partisan politics.The Friendly Dictatorship demonstrates what has been happening in three areas that are vital to Canadian democracy: the parliamentary system, the political parties, and the electorate. What has occurred within each of these spheres has directly influenced developments in the others, and the combined effect has been to leave Canadian democracy in a worrying state. The Friendly Dictatorship delivers a message that is informed, articulate, and passionate, and that should be heard by all Canadians.

Product Description: The image of the scrum â a beleaguered politican surrounded by jockeying reporters â is central to our perception of Ottawa. The modern scrum began with the arrival of television, but even in Sir John A. Macdonaldâs day, a century earlier, reporters in the parliamentary press gallery had waited outside the prime ministerâs office, pen in hand, hoping for a quote for the next edition...read more
