A ringing manifesto for change from Canada’s Green Party leader and Activist.

This book develops and tests a “thermostatic” model of public opinion and policy, in which preferences for policy both drive and adjust to changes in policy.

The coexistence of both “public responsiveness” and “policy representation” is thus a defining characteristic of successful democratic governance,

Courts Liberalism And Rights: Gay Law And Politics In The United States and Canada

In the courts, the best chance for achieving a broad set of rights for gays and lesbians lies with judges who view liberalism as grounded in an expansion of rights rather than a constraint of government activity.
