{"product_id":"9781552777312","title":"XRogue in Power: Why Stephen Harper is Remaking Canada by Stealth","description":"\u003cp\u003eCanada has always been known as a good place to live: a tolderant, prosperous, stable country that treats its citizens fairly and protects the weakest in society. Yet during the past seven years, it has started to change into a harder, more mean-spirited place. What is going on?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAccording to political scientist Christian Nadeau, this transformation is being engineered by Stephen Harper and the neo-con ideologues around him. The Conservatives have a clear agenda that they are implementing step by step. It is a well-planned and organized attack on justice and democracy as we have understood them to date.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNadeau looks at how Harper and the Tories are systematically dismantling political, social, and cultural institutions--and with them, traditions and values--that many Canadians hold dear. He analyzes the wide range of actions and decisions that reflect this program: proroguing Parliament, appointing right-leaning judges, promoting a law-and-order agenda, trying to gut the gun registry, preventing the collection of impartial data through the Census, and shutting down social programs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRogue in Power\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling exploration of how Canada is being refashioned in broad daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Lorimer \u0026 Company Ltd., Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175630782704,"sku":"9781552777312","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781552777312","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
