		Hurtig has returned to the theme of betrayal in The Vanishing Country, a cri de coeur that bemoans the perfidy of the Liberals in reneging on their 1993 promise to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.
		Hurtig has some important things to say and his timing is impeccable, since the central issue on Canada's agenda, now that the fires of Quebec separation have banked, is how to define our ongoing relationship with the world's only hyperpower.
		Hurtig's method is to amass a host of statistics drawn from a myriad of published sources buttressed by a generous sprinkling of quotations from favoured authors such as Dalton Camp, Richard Gwyn and Peter Newman.

	[R-G] Missile-defence plan shot down (by Mel Hurtig)
		Hurtig convincingly exposes the disinformation propagated by the proponents of missile defence, among them former defence minister David Pratt.
		Hurtig is similarly effective in disproving repeated assurances by Pratt, Martin and Graham that missile defence will not lead to the weaponization of space.
		Hurtig explains how missile defence will likely prompt a new arms race, as China and Russia respond to the United States by increasing the number of their missiles and warheads in order to maintain an assured deterrent, and India then responds to China, and then Pakistan to India, and so on.

		Hard-hitting and outspoken, Hurtig builds a compelling portrait of Canadian society under the rule of the “neo-Neanderthals.” He puts together the latest and most reliable statistics with stories told by people on the front lines of the poverty wars.
		Hurtig shows us, through his careful research and statistics that Canadian politicians are the puppeteers who "pull the strings" to create (and maintain) poverty and inequality among the most marginalized individuals in Canadian society while fostering and maintaining the interests of "big business".
		Mel Hurtig lays savagely into those who are permitting such disgraceful proportions of our poulation to continue to live in poverty and despair.

	Eye - Mushrooming clouds of fear - 11.11.04
		Hurtig, Canada's favourite silver-haired nationalist and part-time radical blowhard, has assembled a clumsy but explosive case against the Liberal Party's decision to work with the US on the "Star Wars" ballistic missile defence (BMD) program.
		To be fair, Mel has scads of evidence to back up his theses: government papers, secret documents, newspaper articles, but they're presented in such a weighty, dizzying, pell-mell fashion, reading one chapter of Rushing to Armageddon is akin to being hit on the head with 10 weeks of Alternet articles, wrapped around a brick.
		The Martin government, Mel convincingly claims, has seriously misled the Canadian public about the exact details of this country's involvement with BMD.
