Canadian Regime, The: An Introduction to Parliamentary Government in Canada

The Canadian Regime, third edition An Introduction to Parliamentary Government in Canada By Patrick Malcolmson & Richard Myers

This clear and readable account of Canada's political institutions has now been updated to reflect developments up to and beyond the 2004 Canadian federal election.

Focusing more on principles than on arcane detail, the authors explain why our institutions are the way they are. In so doing, they improve the reader's ability to assess the implications of various proposals for reform of our institutions (such as electing senators, recall of MPs, and review of Supreme Court nominees).
