Reviews

"""This significantly updated edition is the definitive text on institutions, party politics, and identities in Canada. It is sure to be required reading for both students of Canadian politics and contributors to the comparative turn in Canadian political science.""--Arjun Tremblay, University of Regina ""Canadian Politics, Seventh Edition successfully introduces students to contemporary scholars working in the field, as well as multiple primary and secondary sources. Presented as a stand-alone text or as a solid companion to a traditional textbook-driven introductory course, there is no real contemporary equivalent to this volume.""--David Tabachnick, Nipissing University ""Timely and relevant, Canadian Politics, Seventh Edition succeeds in summarizing all the major aspects of Canadian government for undergraduates. By alluding to salient recent events, this textbook has the particular merit of treating up-to-date information throughout, particularly in the treatment of Indigenous considerations and climate change.""--Conor Barry, St. Thomas University"
