	Amazon.ca: Books: The Friendly Dictatorship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Simpson calls on the party to create a platform to appeal to "the whole country" but what he actually means is a "platform to apppeal to Ontario." I'm always suspicious of Canadian authors who claim to be able to speak for "what Canada wants" or "how Canadians think" with such authority.
		Jeffrey Simpson offers very insightful and readable commentary on Canadian political systems in his 'The Friendly Dictatorship.' His observations are exactly in line with what I witnessed as an intern with a backbench Government MP in 2001, and his deep understanding of Canadian history adds an essential depth to his analysis.
		Simpson makes a good, logical case in favor of reform but leaves the impression that he is engaging in partisan criticism of Jean Chretien and the Federal Liberals as much as he is engaging in constructive criticism of the Canadian political process.

		Simpson also touches on the relevance of government in a post-materialist age, globalization, the rise of alternative avenues for political action, and the erosion of civic life in general.
		Simpson’s response to the question of citizen engagement is too superficial, and he fails to grasp the potential for the role of social movements to strengthen accountability of elected governments.
		Simpson’s portrayal of the role of human rights is the weakest element of his analysis and requires a more thorough discussion.

	Book Reviews - Star-Spangled Canadians: Canadians Living the American Dream
		Jeffrey Simpson is, of course, not only a widely read and highly regarded political columnist for The Globe and Mail, but also the author of several bestsellers about the Canadian political scene.
		Simpson offers what are, perhaps, some rather unexpected conclusions, such as: that the United States is now more of a multi-cultural society while Canada has become more of a melting pot (pp.
		In Chapter 9, Simpson offers a detailed explanation of why the American business climate remains such a powerful magnet for many Canadians; and, in Chapter 11, he provides ample evidence that the "big leagues" in the worlds of entertainment and journalism still remain south of the border.

	Inroads: Simpson's electoral expose
		In the last third of the book, Simpson addresses the situation from the point of view of the ordinary voter, or rather - and increasingly-- the ordinary non-voter, and then spells out the structural reforms needed to end the "friendly dictatorship" and bring the voters back to the polling booth.
		Simpson is an acute observer of the assorted maladies besetting Canada's body politic, and what he portrays is not a pretty sight.
		Simpson does a good job portraying the man at the centre of all this power, power compounded to an absurd degree by the fact that despite being in his third mandate, Jean Chretien faces no credible opposition.

	Lynne Van Luven :: Personal Site (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Globe and Mail columnist Jeffrey Simpson was born an American, but has lived most of his life in Canada as a Canadian citizen, so it's natural that "similarities and differences between the two countries have always fascinated" him.
		Simpson 's book is based on interviews with as many Canadians as he could find pursuing careers in health, academia, business, entertainment and journalism in the U.S. He devotes chapters to the history of cross-border migration, differences between Americans and Canadians, and the long history of Quebecois emigration.
		Aside from Simpson's over-enthusiastic application of qualitative research, and his annoyingly relentless use of the phrase "star-spangled Canadians," this is an informative and timely book which combines both economic and cultural analysis.

		This is going to sound harsh, but Jeffrey Simpson's column in today's Globe and Mail shows why his stuff can't be taken seriously.
		Simpson appears to have no clue how Stronach operates and how good she is at bringing people to her side.
		Simpson also doesn't explore the idea that she may have realized she couldn't win 24 Sussex at the helm of the Tories because the party is too weak in Quebec, one of her principal support bases in the last leadership.

	Andrew Spicer's Weblog - The Idealism of Jeffrey Simpson
		Jeffrey Simpson thinks that Paul Martin's New Deal for Cities is a mistake, and says so in his column today (Google shortcut).
		The ironic thing about Jeffrey Simpson's position is that he bashes the feds for stepping into the municipal file, and then goes on to list all the things the province should be doing instead.
		If Simpson is arguing that Ontario can't do that because Paul Martin's government takes up too much tax room, then he is arguing in favour of the fiscal imbalance theory, which is funny since he seems to have little respect for the idea.

	Reason: Maple Leaf Rag: Does Canada Matter?
		On its own, that might not be a bad thing, but Simpson highlights two related trends: the sharp decline in voter turnout and the increasing centralization of power in the hands of Prime Minister Chrétien.
		This amounts, as Simpson’s title suggests, to a "friendly dictatorship" -- a dictatorship because one man controls everything and can only be unseated with great difficulty, a friendly one because that man hasn’t done a horrible job and, with one famous exception, has refrained from throttling people.
		Simpson thus proposes a slate of reforms to get people voting again: a British-style civil service, an independently appointed ethics investigator, an elected senate with staggered terms, multiple-preference ballots to ensure majority support, campaign finance reform to shake off those dreaded special interests, and guaranteed representation for the First Nation aboriginals.

	The Friendly Dictatorship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Having stated his thesis, the majority of the book focuses on an in-depth examination of three areas that Simpson believes are desperately in need of reform: the parliament, political parties, and the system of voting.
		Simpson states that his goal is to “provoke thought and perhaps awaken debate, maybe even to get people angry” The problem is that anyone with an interest in Canadian politics — clearly the book’s target audience - will already be familiar with much of the material.
		True, Simpson does an excellent job of describing the problems with Canadian parliamentary democracy as it has evolved — there is no question that the veteran columnist and Order of Canada recipient knows his material.

		Simpson takes issue with "political lifers", MPs who can’t resist the lure of politics, and so they hang on, election after election, collecting a salary "that offers the best financial rewards they could imagine" followed by "a nice federal pension."
		Simpson suggests that most politicians are more like Robinson, fewer like NS premier John Hamm, who just quit after 12 years.
		But as examples of this hypothesis, Simpson goes on to discuss, and implicitly criticise, MPs who are there only for the money.
