A very personal quest for a perfect state of contentment. The next logical step? Suicide. A disturbed young man shuffles through life with only one thing on his mind. To end his life. But there is a mission to accomplish first. This is to make his life as perfect as possible. However, it will not be easy. A bitterly unhappy childhood, where he suffers a cruel violent father, an ambivalent mother and a murderous younger sister, who may or may not be imaginary, sees him institutionalised. Life as an adult only serves to add to his problems. Unable to settle down in any of a number of jobs, he eventually falls in with a group of young people who murder strangers for fun. From this most unlikely of settings the mist gradually begins to lift as he achieves both comradeship and love from within the gang in a particularly unique way. Is that perfect state of contentment finally within his grasp? The young man narrates his own story.

Ontario is the most populous province in Canada and perhaps the most complex. It encompasses a range of regions, cities, and local cultures, while also claiming a long-standing pre-eminence in Canadian federalism. The second edition of The Politics of Ontario aims to understand this unique and ever-changing province. The new edition captures the growing diversity of Ontario, with new chapters on race and Ontario politics, Black Ontarians, and the relationship of Indigenous Peoples and Ontario. With contributors from across the province, the book analyses the political institutions of Ontario, key areas such as gender, Northern Ontario, the intricate Ontario political economy, and public policy challenges with the environment, labour relations, governing the GTA, and health care. Completely refreshed from the earlier edition, it emphasizes the evolution of Ontario and key public policy challenges facing the province. In doing so, The Politics of Ontario provides readers with a thorough understanding of this complicated province.

Pivot or Pirouette? covers both the backstory and the aftermath of the strangest election in Canadian history, as told by an insider who was involved in the events before, during, and after the ballots were cast. In the early 1990s, a pan-Canadian coalition of Tory voters had been splintered by constitutional politics. Discontented voters flocked to new regional parties; the Conservatives attempted to turn the tide by choosing the first female prime minister, but their efforts fell flat. In the 1993 election, the party was reduced to two seats, the separatist Bloc Québécois became the official opposition, and the Reform Party swept the West. Although the shocking results seemed pivotal, ultimately the pivot turned into a full pirouette as Canadian politics returned to historical norms: new parties shake up the system but are eventually absorbed into it, bringing innovation but not transformation. You can’t understand modern Canadian politics without understanding the 1993 election.
