Liberal Canada was surrounded by 'exceptions' that defined the 'rule': and sovereign was he who decided on the exception - whose defence of the sovereignty of the core of liberal order required decisions to use force, cultural coercion, and other extraordinary but necessary measures against those spatially or conceptually on its periphery.

It might sound odd that the Canadian Jewish Congress -- a group founded to defend and promote the practice of a religion -- has demanded that the Ontario government ban praying in its Legislature and town councils.

Paul Martin is virtually guaranteed to be the next leader of the Canadian Liberal Party and he is therefore virtually guaranteed to be Canada's next Prime Minister.
Finally, Martin coauthored the Red Book that won the Liberals the 1993 election, and then broke almost every promise the Red Book made in his second budget.
The book's weakness is that it falls short on offering solutions (aside from getting involved in electoral politics) for changing the political climate so that people will actually elect politicians who implement policy that people want.

 UW Press: Search Books in Print
In The Big Red Machine, astute Liberal observer Stephen Clarkson tells the story of the Liberal Party's performance in the last nine elections, providing essential historical context for each and offering incisive, behnd-the-scenes detail about how the party has planned, changed, and executed its successful electoral strategies.
Arguing that the Liberal Party has opportunistically straddled the political centre since Sir John A. Macdonald - leaning left or moving right and as circumstances required - Clarkson also shows that the party's grip on power is becoming increasingly uncertain, having lost its appeal not just in the West, but now in Quebec.
An ideal political primer, deftly written and filled with a wealth of fact and analysis, The Big Red Machine is a fascinating history of Liberal pragmatism, communication tactics, and dramatic changes in leadership style.
