Book of the Month August 2006

The Charter Revolution and the Court Party by F. L. Morton and Rainer Knopff.
After a short hiatus, the book of the month series is finally back, premiering the finest literature that Canadian authors have to offer. This text focuses on how the Canadian judiciary has taken control over the whole nation and has left the constitution open for interpretation. This is a current book and can be related to recent events that the judiciary has rendered such as the ruling on swingers clubs and their state of legality. The book also touches on how minority interests are created by "the court party" and how these are wielded in their best interest for personal gain and not for justice. This is a great outlook about the truth of how the judiciary has been run after the Trudeau era and how it has affected Canadians. Few of the actual decisions made for the nation are behind the doors of the Commons anymore and are not left to public scrutiny. This questions policy making in Canada and is a must read especially for followers of Canadian politics.
