J. Patrick Boyer draws together new patterns that help explain why Canadians who care deeply about our country nevertheless feel perplexed, angered, and even embarrassed by the way we now govern ourselves.Since the late 1700s representative government has been part of our Canadian birthright, and since the 1800s responsible government has additionally been a constitutional foundation of our country. That the forms of both endure, but not their substance, is the thesis of Boyers book. The result? An absence of accountability in Canadian government.Most of our countrys pressing concerns and complex problems - from regional economic disparities to the Quebec and Western Canadian separatist movements, from tax evasion to voter apathy - can be traced back to this fundamental lack of accountability. A citizen who understands this absence sees that it makes sense to step back from a dysfunctional system. Making this accountability connection is critical, Boyer concludes, because only when we clearly understand the root cause of the problems we face as a nation can we begin to develop workable, long-term solutions.
