Democracy no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already passed the first one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary Hungary, Turkey, and Venezuela, to the American South during Jim Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies die.

It soon deployed thousands of engineers, trained millions of workers, and invested hundreds of billions of dollars to create the most advanced global supply chain.

When Canada’s first tech giant, Nortel, was plundered of intellectual property by digital spies; while Canada was manipulated into advocating against the independence of Taiwan; and as Chinese Canadians were targeted in the country where they thought they’d escaped Mao’s terrors, Canada’s leaders have too often seen only what they want to see in China: an emerging market of inestimable value and fertile soil for democratic change for a long-tyrannized people. Generations of Communist leadership have gladly allowed Canada’s government to labour under these misapprehensions, even when the evidence of China’s spying, theft and harassment of Canadian citizens has been happening right before its eyes.

powerful exposé of the nation’s crumbling democratic institutions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith characteristic wit, insight, and rigor, Coyne dismantles the comforting myths Canadians tell themselves about their political system, revealing a parliamentary structure eroded by unaccountable leaders, disempowered MPs, manipulated elections, and systemic dysfunction. The Crisis of Canadian Democracy is both a wake-up call and a call to action, offering compelling solutions to restore genuine self-government to Canadian politics. Essential reading for leaders, citizens, and anyone who cares about the future of democracy in Canada—or anywhere else.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sutherland House Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":51898140688667,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":51898140721435,"sku":null,"price":28.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kindle Edition","offer_id":51898140754203,"sku":null,"price":27.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/3343\/9771\/files\/the-crisis-of-canadian-democracy-history-politics-book-cover-626.webp?v=1776286979"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/3343\/9771\/collections\/history-politics-detailed-globe-blue-green-map.webp?v=1776282957","url":"https:\/\/goldenlambpublishing.ca\/collections\/history-politics.oembed?page=2","provider":"Golden Lamb Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
