 Does Canada Matter? Liberalism and the Illusion of Sovereignty --  Clarence Bolt
In this lucid yet impassioned book Clarence Bolt reveals how Canada is rapidly losing its sovereign status to the liberal, globalizing drive that has, since Confederation, endeavoured to eliminate regional diversity, self-reliance and distinctiveness by blending our regions into a centralized economic and political system.
Echoing George Grant, Bolt proposes that Canada can remain a unique, sovereign state only by fostering sustainable regional units in which citizens are committed to the stewardship of their natural and cultural environments.
Born in British Columbia, he has extensive experience in local politics, having served on the executives of various citizens groups, on government committees and boards, and on the municipal council of his community.
