Canadian Politics Today: Democracy, Diversity and Good Government, 1st Edition

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. Politics affects many aspects of our lives, such as students’ ability to afford higher education and their opportunities in the labour market; our rights and freedoms; the protection of our natural environment; the safety of the food we eat; and the peace, prosperity, and security of our country. Canadian politics is particularly interesting because the country’s great diversity poses opportunities and challenges for the practice of democracy and the good government that Canadians expect. Canadian Politics Today: Democracy, Diversity and Good Government offers students a solid understanding of major features of Canadian politics, including national and sub-national political cultures, the workings of the parliamentary system of government, federalism, the protection of rights and freedoms, the judicial system, the public administration and its policy role, the electoral and party systems, political participation and civic engagement, and Canada’s role in global affairs.
