Hertig asserts that both the American and Canadian governments are intentionally misleading their citizens about the Pentagon's unprecedented plans to…
weaponize space, about the new Russian and Chinese nuclear missile build-ups, and about the destruction of important, long-standing arms control agreements.

In this memoir, the long-time Winnipeg MP makes the case for what he calls "soft power" - a mix of…
foreign aid, multilateral diplomacy, and simple persuasion to achieve change in war-torn areas - and a foreign policy based on human security rather than the might of armies. He chronicles his efforts pursuing this agenda, including his work on the 1999 land-mine treaty, and also critically appraises the Bush administration's war on terror. He promotes his argument about Canada's vocation as a middle power - one which must work towards a humane and just world. 2003.

On January 23, 2006, political writer and broadcaster Hébert stood in a Calgary convention hall with 2,000 Alberta Conservatives, who…
were cheering the election of ten Tory MPs from Quebec. Just months before, this would have been inconceivable, since more than ten years previously, the Quebec-Alberta Coalition cobbled together by Brian Mulroney had dissolved, leading to the birth of the Bloc Québecois and the Reform Party. Hébert delivers a post-mortem of the Canadian coalitions that died that election night, and an examination of our changing political landscape. 2007.

To save the country, Ibbitson believes in a devolution of power and dollars from the federal to the provincial level, a revamping of Medicare, and a refashioning of the electoral system. He also dismantles the old ways of thinking about Canada's immigration, free trade, social, and defence policies. 2005.

As Jean Chrétien's right-hand man for thirty years in Ministries all over Ottawa, Eddie Goldenberg got to know how things…
worked in politics - especially from 1993 to 2003, when he was Senior Policy Advisor to the Prime Minister. For example, during Paul Martin's years at Finance, Eddie was the go-between who linked Chrétien and Martin, who were for much of the time barely on speaking terms. Part political science textbook, part memoir, Goldenberg's work is a sometimes brutally honest look at the way the federal government really operates. 2006.

In March 2008, Kevin Page was appointed by the federal Conservatives to be the country's first Parliamentary Budget Officer. The…
move fulfilled a Tory campaign promise to deliver greater government transparency and accountability. He was later denounced by the same people who appointed him to scrutinize their spending. When he challenged the government on several issues - most notably about the true costs of the F-35 fighter planes - and publicly claimed the government was misleading Canadians, Page was vilified. In this shocking insider's account, Page argues that democracy is being undermined by an increasingly autocratic government that does not respect facts that run counter to its political agenda - something Canadians should be concerned about. 2015.
