The age of consequence : the ordeals of public policy in Canada / Charles J. McMillan. by McMillan, Charles J. McGill-Queen's University Press, 2022. Call #: 320.60971 M478a Subjects Canada -- Social policy.   Canada -- Economic policy -- 20th century.   Canada -- Foreign relations -- 1945-   Canada -- Politics and government -- 1945-   Canada -- Economic policy -- 1945- ISBN:  9780228010937 (hc.) Description:  xx, 399 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 383-388) and index. Summary:  "Since the election of Pierre Trudeau as prime minister in 1968, Canada has had nine prime ministers, a series of minority governments, as many as sixteen leaders of the opposition, and a turnover of party leaders in provincial governments. This rotation shows the vibrant nature of the Canadian political system, which combines a measure of continuity and stability with change and policy innovation. 'The Age of Consequence' provides an insider's account of Canada's political environment over the last fifty years. Focusing on the key personalities, leaders, and political parties of the era, Charles McMillan reveals the reality of policy change in a world in flux, bound by institutional constraints and propelled by personalities that advance or derail policy initiatives. Choosing four policy themes - economic competitiveness, social justice, national reconciliation, and constructive internationalism--the book traces Canada's policy evolution. As a federation, Canada's political system is shaped by policy initiatives, leadership campaigns, national elections, the planning and machinery of governance, and the strengths of its various leaders, from John Diefenbaker and Lester B. Pearson to Justin Trudeau. Based on McMillan's personal experience as senior policy advisor to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, as well on as interviews, policy papers, and memos, 'The Age of Consequence' sheds light on how public policy is made, the conflicts facing senior members of the government, and the unique burdens placed on prime ministers."--Back cover.
