Davie as he explores Quebec's controversial use of Section 33 - and the danger the Notwithstanding Clause poses to all Canadians. - Häftad, Engelska, 2001

The government of the day enjoys enormous freedom to enact legislation and exert its will on the population. On the sidelines of political power are other players who struggle to make their voices heard. This book looks at three groups on the outside looking in: the media, the opposition Canadian Alliance Party and its forerunners; and women. The author examines the contribution made by each of these outsiders, the challenges they face and the limitations they encounter. He also explores the circumstances and conditions needed to increase their influence and ensure their distant voices are heard. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2002

This is a terrific book of humorous poetry. An impotent message: The book is for the insane. It's also for people who at some point in life made a minor error in judgement or had a fleeting moment of self doubt: the virtually insane. The fact that you have read this far is irrefutable evidence you are afflicted with a form of insanity, even if you can't quite put your finger on it. This book is here to help you. It's literally filled with poetry intended, however unrealistically, to alleviate all manner of mental/emotional distress. The book has been designated Most Important Book of All the Millenniums -- the most prestigious honour possible from the Pseudo Psychiatric Institute. The Institute began -- and continues -- as a concept existing exclusively in the mind of the author himself. Today, the institute is considered by some to be a world leader in the burgeoning field of faux psychiatry. The institute's standards are such that it will steadfastly refuse any affiliation with legitimate psychiatric institutes. It's truly a unique entity. Set your mind free. Embrace this book's remarkable message of love and hope and literary profitability. Everyone is proud of you for having come this far. This is a book with a message to be shared -- and cherished. - Häftad, Engelska, 2003
