Dead Centre

"Dead Centre is a book about changing the political landscape in Canada. If Canada is a progressive country and a beacon to the world, why haven't promises to move on the environment, health care and social values been realized? Jamey Heath, with keen insight and analysis and often caustic wit, debunks a few myths and gets his hands dirty in the political mire called Ottawa." "Heath digs away at the Liberal Party of Canada - the party of the "meaningless middle"--Which has written politics' rules for too long. Now is the time to ask if the Liberal line on how things should work is the right line. With right-wingers running Ottawa and the national unity question back on the agenda in Quebec, Dead Centre wonders aloud whether progressives don't have more options than the Liberals - and new leader Stephane Dion - let on. With the climate changing along with Canada's political dynamic, maybe the tired, old, Liberal rules should be thrown out. As the spectre of a united Right hangs over the Peace Tower, something has to be done."--Jacket.
