Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two studies in Interest Groups and Elections in Canada explore the nature and influence of special interest groups. They consider different aspects of the question, "In the context of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, how can the laws intended to secure a fair electoral process be reconciled with freedom of expression?" Janet Hiebert reviews the limits on interest groups adopted in 1974 and amended in 1983, profiles the groups involved int he 1988 federal election, and discusses relevant legislation and jurisprudence in the provinces and abroad. She concludes that spending limits for parties and candidates will only be effective if there are also restrictions on independent expenditures during elections by groups and individuals. Brian Tanguay and Barry Kay assess the influence attributed to locally oriented interest groups, including by members of Parliament, and conclude that these organizations have less influence on the political process than is the popular view. The authors conclude that dissatisfaction is a key variable explaining the role of these interest groups and their activities during elections.

Book excerpt: A Right-wing populist, in an oil-rich province, Ralph Klein has been a one-man wrecking crew, dismantling Alberta’s public sector and remaking the province into a freewheeling, capitalist paradise. This book re-examines Klein’s Alberta after a decade of deficit-slashing, tax--cutting -conservatism. First elected in 1993 on a platform of “common sense revolution,” a decade later Ralph Klein’s Conservative party remains in power, but the gloss is off its “revolution.” Deficits and debt have been eliminated, but new problems and new issues have arisen, such as energy deregulation and water shortages. Efforts to export the revolution-to remake Canada in Alberta’s image-have stalled, with the defeat of the Harris Conservatives in Ontario and the collapse of the Reform and Alliance parties federally. Meanwhile, at the worldwide level, neo--liberal globalization-all the rage in the early ’90s-is now in retreat, replaced by war, threats of terrorism and growing economic instability. The Return of the Trojan Horseexamines the long-term lessons of the Klein revolution and suggest where Alberta and Canada may be headed in the next decade. An original compilation of critical essays on Alberta’s policies, written by some of Alberta’s (and Canada’s) best authors who come from a wide spectrum of viewpoints and backgrounds, all blending insight with journalistic flair. “Peel away the careful packaging of the Klein government’s record and what have you got? This book tells the story. Facts, clear prose, and the courage to tell it straight make it essential reading.”-Canadian Forum Trevor Harrisonis currently an associate professor at the University of Lethbridge and research director for the Parkland Institute, an Alberta-based think tank dedicated to examining public policy issues.
