New ebooks From Canadian Indies
Description
In this lucid yet impassioned book Clarence Bolt reveals how Canada is rapidly losing its sovereign status to the liberal, globalizing drive that has, since Confederation, endeavoured to eliminate regional diversity, self-reliance and distinctiveness by blending our regions into a centralized economic and political system. Echoing George Grant, Bolt proposes that Canada can remain a unique, sovereign state only by fostering sustainable regional units in which citizens are committed to the stewardship of their natural and cultural environments.
Editorial Review
“Bolt lucidly argues how Canadian identity is being destroyed by neo-liberal ideology fuelling a global, homogenized, corporate-controlled society. Only a renewed vision of neighbourhood democracy and sustainability can resist this drift into sterile suburban sprawl. A must-read for every thinking Canadian who cares about our future!" — David Turner, Former Mayor of Victoria, Associate Professor of Social Work
