A fresh look at the country 20 years after the book that sparked a conservative renewal

Canada suffered a regime-change in the last quarter of the twentieth-century, and is now caught between two irreconcilable styles of government: a top-down collectivism and a bottom-up individualism. In this completely revised update of his best-selling classic, William Gairdner shows how Canada has been damaged through a dangerous love affair with the former. Familiar topics are put under a searing new light, and recent issues such as immigration, diversity, and corruption of the law are confronted head on as Gairdner comes to many startling - and sure to be controversial - conclusions. This book is a bold clarion call to arms for Canada to examine and renew itself ... before it is too late.

Thank you for weighing in on the discussion of Language (Un)Fairness in Canada. We in English-speaking Canada have been subsidizing French Canadianism for too long. It seems to me that because the French were here 300 years before most of us in Western Canada at least, we have been bamboozled by their unfair demands by being too nice and erstwhile governance corruption. It is time to stop or to separate the two factions so we can both live for ourselves and not as the serf of the other.

It is also my contention that ALL INFLATION IS CAUSED BY GOVERNMENTS. I am old enough to remember when there was no inflation. That was before governments became overly intrusive. Now, we have laws and regulations, along with the taxes to support them, for almost everything of importance in our lives. Meanwhile inflation is stealing our future properity and that of our progeny.

Hi Bill, great to see you again at the book event. I have already read the part where you mention your relative who fought in WWII and how you think if he were here today he would thought he had fought in vain.

After one of the marriage commissioners was charged by the Saskatchewan human rights commission for not marrying two gays (he referred them to another marriage commissioner who accommodated them immediately), I got a phone call from a WWII soldier who noticed what I had written about this. He said, "We fought for this country and now it's all going to hell!"

P.S. Loved the "shock sheet"! This book will be a great read.

I came across The Trouble With Canada hidden in a dusty corner of a thrift store and my mind was to be opened immensely. After reading it, I searched for your name online and learned that The Trouble With Canada...Still had just been published! I ordered it and I can't wait for it to come in the mail. Thank-you for writing down exactly how I feel about what's wrong with this country - and opening my eyes to the reasons WHY!

Hello :-)

Since the hard copy ain't available, is there a way to buy an electronic copy from you?

Thanks!

I borrowed the book from the Library to read it. This book tells it like it is. Every Canadian should read it, especially our young people. I want to buy several copies of the book for myself and others to read. None of the stores have it. Is a second printing coming soon. Thanks >>> Larry
