Canada is being transformed from a country with a long, proud history to a place that many of us hardly recognize. What is happening?
According to political scientist Christian Nadeau, the changes stem from a platform for radical change that is being successfully carried out by the Harper government. Realizing that they already control public opinion on the economy, the Tories have set their sights on something new— Canada's soft, liberal value.
Nadeau looks at how Harper and the Tories are systematically dismantling political, social, and cultural institutions—and with them traditions and values—that many of us hold dear. Nadeau discusses recent issues that have defined Harper's government: proroguing Parliament, appointing Tory-backed judges, promoting a law and order agenda, ending the gun registry, and preventing the collection of impartial data through the Census.
Rogue in Power is a compelling exploration of how Canada is being refashioned in broad daylight while the public neither seems to notice or care.
