A Justifiable Obsession traces the evolution of Ontarios relationship with the federal government in the years following the Second World War. Through extensive archival research in both national and provincial sources, P.E. Bryden demonstrates that the provinces successive Conservative governments played a crucial role in framing the national agenda although this central relationship has received little attention compared to those that have been more volatile. As such, Brydens study sheds light on an important but largely ignored chapter in Canadian political history. Bryden focuses on the politicians and strategists who guided the province through the negotiation of intergovernmental economic, social, and constitutional issues, including tax policies, the design of the new social welfare net, and efforts to patriate the constitution. Written in a lucid, engaging style that captures the spirit of the politics of postwar Canada, A Justifiable Obsession is a significant contribution to our understanding of Ontarios politics and political culture.

Bryden provides excellent historical contextA Justifiable Obsession is a valuable addition to our understanding of postwar Canadian federalism and Ontario political culture. -- Matthew Barrett * Ontario History vol 106:01:2014 * It is a compelling read, both as reference tool for specific questions and as a general history that helps us understand how and why, imperfect as it is and after nearly 150 years, the Canadian federal experiment has been made to function. -- Robert Talbot * Canadian Historical Review vol 96:04:2015 *

P.E. Bryden is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Victoria.
