The environment has emerged as an increasingly important issue in Ontario politics since the end of World War II, yet it has been the subject of surprisingly little scholarship. With Blue-Green Province, Mark Winfield addresses this gap.A recognized authority in the field, Winfield masterfully explains the formulation and implementation of environmental policy in Canada's most populous province, tracing its development through the Progressive Conservative "dynasty" that ruled Ontario politics from the mid-1940s to the mid-1980s, to the dramatically different governments of Premiers Peterson, Rae, Harris, Eves, and McGuinty. He offers particularly trenchant analysis of the little-studied period following the Harris's "Common Sense Revolution," examining the implications of the 1999, 2003, and 2007 elections and their subsequent governments for Ontario's environment and politics.A timely, original analysis, Blue-Green Province should be required reading for anyone with an interest in the interplay of environmental policy, politics, and economic development in Ontario and across Canada.
