This ground-breaking book begins with the now classic article in which the red tory view was formulated. It then presents a new and illuminating picture of Canadian political life, in which liberal individualism confronts not toryism but the participatory tradition of civic republicanism. In the final section the two editors, one a liberal, the other a civic republican, debate the crucial questions dominating Canadian politics today-including Quebec''s search for recognition-from the perspective of their shared understanding of Canada''s founding.","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51456023789911,"sku":"9780886292744","price":24.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780886292744.jpg?v=1755033491","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/canadas-origins-9780886292744","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
