Those who believe in bigger government will likely find plenty to wince at in this book including the arguments against corporate capital taxes, personal income tax, and the arguments for the entry of the private sector into healthcare and more cooperation/trade with the United States among other things. Those with a predilection for small government, however, will find in The Canadian Century a breath of fresh air not to mention elements of a prophet’s message in which the Canadian people are called back to the former ways from which they have deviated with a promise of prosperity if they do.
