Our federal government has shown a greater willingness to apologize for historical wrongs than other Western countries. Canada also outperforms other nations in helping victims make the transition to full participants in the country's political and economic life. Donald Savoie maintains that Canada continues to thrive despite the many shortcomings in its national political institutions and the tendency of Canadians to see themselves as victims, and that our history and these shortcomings have taught us the art of compromise. Canada's constitution and its political institutions amplify rather than attenuate victimization; however, they have also enabled Canadians to manage the issue better than other countries. Canadians also recognize that the alternative to Canada is worse, and this more than anything else continues to strengthen national unity.
Drawing on his extensive experience in academe and as an advisor to governments, Savoie provides new insights into how Canada works for Canadians.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"One of the country's most respected scholars." The Hill Times "Donald Savoie [is] the eminence grise of Canadian public administration." The National Post "Savoie [has the] ability to contextualize very dense subject matter into compelling reading." CBC "This is a slim book of some 250 pages, Geoffrey Stevens helped ensure its completion but never overshadows her voice. What comes through loud and clear ... is a passion for life and a dedication to public service. [MacDonald] had a wide circle of loyal friends, including many from the foreign service, and seemingly endless reserves of energy. And she was very much a woman ahead of her time." Bulletin of the Canadian Foreign Service Alumni ForumWeitere Details
