Summary:
A piercing examination of the fractured state of Canadian politics and what can be done to fix it. Segmented electorates. Endless repetition of sound bites and vanity videos with little substance. Billions of dollars spent on lobbying. It's clear that Canadian politics is in a bad state. Through increasingly low voter turnouts and a general lack of engagement in the political process, Canadians have shown that they are dissatisfied and fed up with present-day politics. Touching on everything from polling to issues of social justice to the way in which political parties package their candidates, Rae identifies the shortcomings of the current Canadian political framework, and what we, as citizens, can do to remedy that. Rae imagines a political forum where citizens are inspired to participate instead of feeling disenfranchised. Erudite, engaged, and keenly attuned to the frustrations expressed by Canadians across the political spectrum. Bob Rae was elected eleven times to the House of Commons and the Ontario legislature between 1978 and 2013. He was Ontario’s 21st Premier from 1990 to 1995. He teaches at the University of Toronto School of Governance and Public Policy.
